acid etching the concrete does lift out loose debris and most oil
residue but if not rinsed well enough will keep anything from
adhearing to it, there is a citrus acid i strongly recomend you can
find at lowes, homedepot, and some hardware stores, get a good stiff
bristled brush scrub the cleaner in, in about a 5'x5' area rinse and
do the next 5x5 etc... try to keep it clean as it dries and you can go
by its apperance or you can do the moisture test tape a piece of
plastic down on the floor
if there is know moisture within2-4 hours you'll be good, note; some
epoxy's dry very quick depending on the ambient temp. stay busy
have fun.
howell mi.

I did the Rustoleum Professional solvent-based epoxy on my garage floor. I
prepped with a strong muratic acid wash, then let dry for a few days prior
to application. Wear a respirator when applying this stuff, the fumes are
nasty. The water-base epoxy is cheaper and doesn't have the issues with
fumes, but it is less durable than the solvent base epoxy.
I also applied the clear-coat as well. I have found this epoxy to be very
durable. Car tires are not an issue.

The best is the one that was put on while following the prep
instructions exactly. All others are junk!
After that I would look for a two part epoxy.
