Once your tools and materials are in order, seal the concrete floor with a state-of-the-art finish that will dramatically brighten your garage. Before applying the coating, clean off any oily patches using a degreaser then wet the entire surface. Mix the supplied bag of concrete etch with water and scrub on with a stiff-bristle brush.
