Default Acid staining garage floor?

Anyone here done this?

My new 4 car garage will be done soon and I am thinking about staining the garage floor before I move anything into it.

(Don't want the Audi to have a boring old garage to live in)

Picture?

Default make sure it is sealed

Well I would not recommend acid washing alone as it will open the pours of the concrete in addition to making the texture a bit rougher. Both of these characteristics will make it difficult to clean the inevitable spills and or stains.

If you are going to acid wash/stain the floor I would recommend going with a high quality sealer. I have used Prosoco SL-100 on concrete and been very satisfied with the stain resistance. You might want to talk to them about what they would recommend for your application.<ul><li><a href="http://www.prosoco.com/Product.asp?ID=82">http://www.prosoco.com/Product.asp?ID=82</a</li></ul>

Has anyone done this and are you happy? On my exterior sidewalks I applied 2 coats of New Look “Endura” concrete stain (after a good power washing) and then 2 coats of a matte finish sealer. It looks great and has held up well. Did it to hide splotchy appearance from and uneven dry/cure after they were poured. Wondering if anyone has used this or similar product on their garage floor and if it’s holding up.

it seemed to me that this is quite enough for the floor in the garage
