Both acrylic stain and epoxy are going to have to be redone every few years. I did stain in my garage and it was a big mistake. I have tire marks all over it. The epoxy that I've seen looks much better and doesn't seem to mark up.
Using a high speed burnishing buffer heats the surface slightly and causes it to seal and firm up. If done properly it won't be slippery. Most stores use this process.
