My parents did this recently in our garage and it looks pimp!! Don't know what brand they used but word of advice, coolant tends to eat away at that stuff so don't leave coolant spills on the floor for very long. (Might not want to test this with any type of car fluids/oils)

You said it scratches pretty easily, do you have to patch the scratches or are they just on the surface?
When I did mine I was told not to apply it to "fresh" (less than 6 months old) concrete. I was also told to make sure that the concrete was completely dry (from hosing off the muratic acid used to etch it) before applying. To check for dryness, you tape down a sheet of saran wrap. After 24 hours, if the concrete doesn't look wet under the saran wrap, you are good to go. I used the Pratt and Lambert stuff. If I had to do it again, I would use U Coat It.UCoat It Do-it Yourself Floor Coatings for a Durable, Protective Finish

I used Commercial VCT Flooring. Its great...and much cheaper than epoxy. The only bad thing is when I put the car on jack stands I need to place some wood under the stands to protect the VCT.

Ironically enough - I am pretty sure Tirerack sells that tire rack.

That garage is cleaner than my Kitchen!

I will be going with the u-coat it stuff this spring. The others are a bit too thin and they scratch easily...
