Seriously though, did you do anything other than bare concrete?
I mostly want to keep dust down and now how I am about being careful with nice things......so I'm thinking a bucket of sealer is a good choice even if it may not make the prettiest floor.
No, … but I have a persian carpet!
(It is difficult to get a rise out of my wife, but when I showed her the carpet at Costco for $160 she COULD NOT BELIEVE that I wanted it for the garage and almost refused to let me take it home. I like it! She has never commented again.)
I just have bare concrete on the floor. I would like to do something, but am struggling too with what to do. I am leaning toward just plain polyurethane paint. Yeah, it'll get scratched, but it would be very easy to touch up. I don't like the bright white "operating theater" style of garage finishing; I want something a little grungier. I don't think I would mind the stains and scuffs it would accumulate. If I go with paint, I would chose a darker color than standard light greys and tans. (Again, my wife would probably object.)
Clear sealer doesn't work for me because half of my garage floor (the part you can't see in the photo below) is 40 years old and has lots of oil and other stains. My garage is two cars wide and two cars deep (the small garage door you see just opens to the backyard for ventilation etc.). (Also note Lincoln 140 welder on bench; I do not know how to weld, ...yet).
