What's the best garage floor coating

My house is 2 years old and the garage floor has minimal grease/oil stains on it. I've been looking at the UCoat products but I'm thinking about putting down a nice concrete stain with a protective coating. Has anyone used either of these and if you have could you please post pics and how long it's been applied. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm in Houston so it's pretty hot and humid down here (if it matters)

Ive had experience with the epoxy types and they work really well. I just like the look and feel better than the concrete stain. Just gives the garage a more presentable appearance.

I have been told Ucoat is a nice product, but you must etch the floor first with muratic acid and you must follow directions exactly and not rush the curing time. Otherwise hot tires can lift paint.

I agree with Truls, I'll be putting Epoxy in my garage floor too. One of my neighbors did it and he showed me how it looks ad it looks great. I's easy to apply too, I purhcased two kits of it and it came with a video too, haven't seen it just yet but read the instructions and its "souds" easy. I was goin to do it this weekend but I put it off to next weekend (maybe).

We did the floor in a shop, transparent epoxy on raw concrete, that looks industrial macho cool..

Im doing the garage floor white i guess, or RED....the EVO would be invisable afters.


BUT the painter and I had on some fresh air masks (or whats its called) when applying it, wasnt any good ide breathing the air afters (some hours)

Your floor looks great, that's pretty much what I'm looking for. Consider yourself lucky I'm not your neighbor, I'd be over there sampling most of your detailing products.
