Simple answer to a reasonable question.

The wear and tear on a garage floor in MA, is significantly different than in Florida. The mud, oils, salt, etc from MA roads, will eat away at most any type of "coated garage floor".

If you go back to MA and want to do something with your garage floor, use a process called "Retroplate", which is essentially a "polishing" process. Unfortunately, it can get a little slippery when wet. The other choice, is "dyed concrete", but that obviously only works when building a new garage.

I build automobile dealerships in MA and I can tell you, I'd never put an expoxy or any other applied finish to a Service Department floor. If you notice, some of the M-B, BMW, Lexus dealerships are now using a "tile" floor in service departments .... maintenance nightmare.
