Minor change to the link: www.superfloorcoat.com Sounds like good stuff!

Here's some info regarding various methods of surface preparation:

http://www.epoxyandepoxyflooring.com...xyflooring.htm See "Basic steps for concrete surface preparation" section.

I got an estimate from a Sherwin-Williams rep (specialist in their commercial/industrial floor coatings and their proper application) about 3-4 years ago for putting a coating on the floor of a new storage building. His recommendation was to prep the surface via the grinding method since our floor was fresh and had had a good amount of curing compound applied to it after the pour. I choked on the cost (fairly good sized building) and decided to pass on it. Would've loved to have done it, though! Just doing my best to take care of the floor as-is!!
