Question Garage Floor coating

I need some advice. I am doing a major remodel of my garage. I am stuck on floor coating. I have done some research and found there is an issue with most coatings called "Pulling" where your tires pull up the coating if it gets wet or sits too long.

Does anyone have a coated garage floor that they are happy with and what brand/type of coating did you use? Thanks!

if i was gonna paint my garage floor i would use the special concreate floor paint i've used at work, i can't remember what it's called but it soaks down into the pores of the concreate and holds up to an amazing amount of abuse. works even better if it's had about 5 coats on industrial quality floor wax laid down on top, shines like a mirror

Make sure you can coat your floor, when was it put in. Some of the new cement has a treatment so that the coating barely will stick.

THIS /\/\

There is actually a sealer that is put down on bare concrete that is expected to see water on a regular basis. Once that sealer is on, it fills the pores of the concrete and its almost impossible to get off and to get other coatings to stick to. My uncle is battling this on his concrete patio. They sealed it after they poured it and now no stain or coating will stick to it. They all flake off after a few months.

I've seen some of the "as seen on TV" commercials for the garage floor stuff, it looked pretty sweet! After reading all the posts here, I guess it's not worth the money? And while you're printing up some $$$'s, print a batch for me.....

Astonishing quality comes from a $100 photo printer. Spend the money on high quality paper, and dont spend them stupidly (100 bill for a snickers, etc) Do spend them on a busy day at a mall department store or wally world.
