I notice on IG, here, and other detailing forums that some detailers have their floors coated, some have bare concrete, and some have floating tiles.

Can someone clue me in to the advantages and disadvantages of each? I have always just had bare concrete and can't see a reason to spend thousands of dollars on tiles or a coating.

Coating -

Cons
Cost (Approximately $3k)
Potential peeling issues
Potentially slippery when wet

Pros
Concrete won't stain when changing vehicle fluids or if one begins to leak
Aesthetics

Garage Tiles -

Cons
Cost (Approximately $3k)
Water stays stagnant under the vehicle (no way to push away)
Similar to above, but winter salt/magnesium chloride stay attached to concrete floor below
Wheeled chairs might not roll as easily/floor jack

Pros
Comfort while working long hours
Aesthetics
