8" to 12" of concrete seems to work pretty well.

:hijacked: I am sorry about moving from topic but I have a similar question. My garage floor is covered in oil and grease. It has spent it's entire life as a mechanics garage and the floor is no longer smooth either. Any ideas on how to clean this up enough to use a floor covering?

That would take years!!! As it is it makes a good place for burnouts which still doesn't get to the cement. But the acid route may work. Where would I get said acid?? :lol:

Castrol makes a super clean specifically for oil stained concrete. use some of that and a pressure washer.

as far as the original topic, Mojo, my neighbor used the home depot roll on stuff for $100 and loves it!

use muratic acid from a pool supply store or even Wal-Mart. Also, buy a bunch of boxes or bags of baking soda so you can nuetralize the acid at the end.

From what I have heard, Muratic acid is required to do it right.

I dunno, I just ask for the old carpet when the neighbors move out. :lol:

Mojo, my company does garage floor coatings fairly often. We use "Tile-
Clad" Industrial epoxy coating from Sherwin-Williams. Its not cheap, and I have no idea what retail cost is, but it last a very long time and becomes extremly hard when fully-cured. They offer a very wide selection of colors, and you can add the color chips to also if you like. It does require you acid-etching, but it very easy. The kits that Home Depot, Lowes, etc. sell are okay, but don't hold up as well.

A 2 car garage will require 2 kits and maybe even 3 if its on the larger side.

If you need help, PM me.

Busy, busy, and busier!

I've been injured so no riding right now, but I was busy moving, computers been screwed up (still is), and been stuck baby-sitting at a huge country club we are painting. Hoping things slow down a bit soon. :?
