New Garage Floor help

[tjeff]

Not sure how technical this is, but figured it would fit here.

My question is: We are building a new house and just poured our garage floor about a month ago.
What should I put on it to help protect it from grease/oil etc that's sure to come.
Seal? Epoxy paint. (just a few things I've heard in the past, but never looked into)

Also, where can I get it? and price.

The budget is way over already, so please be kind.

Thanks
Jeff

My advice is Thompson s Porch and deck sealer ! Hands down the least expensive and best sealer out there. Granted I cleaned a stained 28 year ould floor with etching cleaner and spent the money for the epoxy paint and guess what eats it the quickest ? Tranny , and brake fluid. No stopping it ! Its quick. I put an addition on the house and the new floor would weep in the spring. I went to home Cheep-o to buy hydro-lock paint and the guy there spun the 5 gal. can around and it says , brick,concrete,masonry ! 25.00 for 5 gals. and 28.00 for paint. Floor never leaked again and never any dust from the concrete. Looks like they polished it when they finished it. Just use a long handle roller and tray and have at it. my opinion FjR68

U-coat seems to be the rage right now, Summit Racing has it.

We use Stonhard epoxy systems here at work. I do not know if they quote residential but I can call my rep and find out.
