The wife just bought me a new garage, it was built in 2003 and it's 1400 sq ft. The floor looks to be untreated concrete and it's got some oil stains that I have not tried to remove. What I'm looking for is something that will make cleaning up spills easier and if it was easier to sweep up dust and dirt that would be a bonus. It will definitely see abuse (welding, cutting, jack stands, dropped tools, etc) and I'm not looking for miracles, just the best option.
I'm really trying to keep this on the cheap since we just dropped a bucket of money on the garage (and house above it)... is a concrete sealer what I want? How is the "Seal-Krete Epoxy Seal" (which isn't really epoxy, right?) at my local home improvement store?
Finally, looks/style is far down the priority list here, but if I wanted to stain the concrete before sealing it, how will that effect things? Can I use iron sulfate on an older slab? Can I use commercially available concrete stain on an older slab? Will either hold up to welding (and by "hold up", I mean "not look worse than it would if the product wasn't there")?
Thanks a bunch!
