My new shop plan is to only use clear with a few chips. Are there any concerns going this route or special prep required.

Hi,
If you want to use a clear on the floor you must use a special UV inhibited non yellowing epoxy and then clear topcoat (All true epoxies can yellow from UV if not protected). Clear primer is strongly recommended so this system could end up costing in the $1.25/sq ft range.

A less expensive option would be to use our clear SPGX, fleck into it, and then a second coat to topcoat it. About $1.00/ft and only two applications instead of three.

I have discount access to Rustoleum Professional epoxy Shield. Not sure if this would yellow. I have done two floors using this product and the results were good.

Had a meeting with local concrete supply house. They propose have the slab "rough" finished and use Zeraus EPO Klear product with two coats. Cost is way less than most store bought products I have checked. $1200 can buys a 1500 ft2 kit that does two coats.

Side question.

What prep to concrete is needed? It's 1.5 years old.

Either etching or a light grind for prep. With SPGX we have had many customers do no prep but we officially don't recommend that. Thanks!
