I've been trying to find the most recommended success stories using Ghostshield products to coat my floor before final move in. I'm having to apply in two sections for my 28x40, using the cut relief as my divider (2/3 1/3 split) as I unfortunately have some stuff moved into the space already. I pressure washed yesterday to get the large paint/junk from the last two years off.

I'm looking to confirm what I've read here or there that for my smooth trowel finished floor:

Degreaser
Pressure wash
Dry
Single flood coat of 4500 in a 4:1 ratio
7 day cure time minimum
Double flood coat (wet on wet) of 8510 as mixed
24hr minimum cure

I have the following materials:
Solvent rated hand pump sprayer
Microfiber rollers for puddling if present
spike shoe adapters for the wet on wet application of 8510

My concrete was new so I didn’t degrease, old concrete will most likely need it.

Give it a week to cure after 8510 and I used a garden sprayer to apply both 4500 and 8150. It was slow to dry after applying the second coat of 8510.

I’m happy with the results, easy to clean up if I get to it quickly and low dust. My bunker isn’t treated and I can tell how dusty it is compared to the treated concrete.
