The high build 1/8 inch + thick kind of high build 100% solids pro stuff can take a hard hit. I have seen rotors fall on the floor from 4 feet and not spall the surface. One down side to the high build stuff is slag burns down into it. the Thin stuff seems to resist this by passing the heat into the concrete without itself burning noticeably. It can and does get dinged up after time which is where being re-coat-able is important. Coated floor is far less work in the long run. Concrete is never "clean" but coated floors sweep and or mop right up. Lay on your back on raw concrete and you will come up dirty. Once coated you can wash up fluid spills completely. Even sealed concrete is not fully sealed and race deck type flooring while easy to install is the worst when you spill something as it runs under the matting. Now you have to pull up the matting to get the spill and have to wash the matting too. Got the bux? Hire a pro and have a pro non glossy floor installed.

Ditto. Time to get a group by going? Although I am also considering a DIY kit from my research on the garage journal.

Wish i was paying attention a year ago when you posted this. I'm thinking sealer would be best for me...as there will be a lot of hot-tire turning on my floor (afraid of tire pickup) and I like the look of a concrete floor.
