I'm looking at getting a G-Floor or similar for at least part of my garage. I'm not a fan of the coin pattern, so I'm between levant and diamond plate. I'm leaning towards levant, but I'm worried that grease and dirt will get into a nasty party together and be hard to clean up in those little crevices.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I have small coin in my garage and you can see the product going in on the video at the end of that page. That is my wife and I doing the install.

We have 6 kids, 8 bikes, two cars and countless other mess-causing (not the least of which is me) items.... The small coin is by far the easiest one to keep clean. Whatever pattern you use: mop on three coats of Hilway Direct Plus day one, and dilute 1oz to a gallon of water for cleaning. Strip it once every 6 months to a year if necessary.

The hardest pattern to keep clean IMHO is the Diamond pattern. The diamonds are fairly high. They look awesome, but for a squeegee they are a bit of a nightmare.

I have had ribbed in a garage as well. Its ok to clean front to back, just don't try and sweep across it.

We put Levant in a section of the warehouse and diamond in the break area. They do ok. Just not my favorites.

(Note: Both these photos were just taken 'as is' so you can see what it looks like real world.)
