I have a quarter sized blemish in my floor. It seems the coating has lifted somewhat in this spot. What are some viable solutions to fix this?

I used a single part polyurea from AWF. Prep included diamond grinding, power washing, etc. It could be from the kick stand, it could be from just poor adhesion in that spot, either way it's my fault not the product. I just want to know what I could do to fix it so it doesn't become a problem.cb5ccd9a49ca1ede3908bc9416330439.jpg

It looks like there is an oil spot, is it the NW quadrant of the oil spot?

If it's not oil and it is discolored, I would recommend scraping all of the loose area to expose the concrete, then look at cleaning and roughing the concrete, scuff a small amount of the surround at the edge, then fill in a small patch of the same material you originally placed (if they make a touch up kit).

If it is oil and a chip/scratch, get that oil up ASAP to keep it from soaking into the concrete. I mark/cover any chips I have with a small piece of tape. It's been 2 years on my epoxy and I am getting close to breaking out the touch up.

That floor looks excellent.

What product did you use?
How old is it?

Can anyone recommend a good solid epoxy floor finish that will last for MANY MANY years as long as the prep work is followed to a tee?

My garage floor looks like total **** and I would like it to look as good as this one in the above photo.

Thanks in advance.

The answer below is likely correct as to cause.

I would suggest getting a quart of clear and of tint and splitting them. Once you have product give me a call and lets walk through this

Your epoxy supplier should sell touch up kits for these rare events (we do). Carefully scrape or sand the affected area, and reapply epoxy,flakes and then topcoat. Dont' overdo it!

The nice thing about epoxy floors is they are easily repairable.
