Has anyone extended the driveway concrete staining into their garage floor? I'm not referring to the epoxy material but rather the same material used on driveways. If so, how has it held up over the years?

Many of the stains (sometimes called paint) do not hold up well to automotive fluids, I have firsthand experience with this. Before we had the driveway stained, I did the garage myself with what turned out to be the same brand product that was used for the driveway. The driveway was great for around 10 years, the garage suffered damage in just a few years due to my spilling of various fluids. NOTE, I have a working garage, in hindsight I would have been better off to do an epoxy or similar product in the garage.
The product I used was Sherwin Williams HC xylene based clear sealer.

When we moved into our new house 9 years ago, we had Miller and his sons put epoxy on the floor. It still looks great.

I extended the driveway stain into the garage. It's held up very well for 8 years, however, I have a few stain spots from fluid spills. Regular sweeping and water mop with dawn will keep it clean. Avoid fluids, like gas, rubbing alcohol, oil, etc.

I dropped a Walmart bag containing a bottle of rubbing alcohol on our driveway once. Before I came back out of the house to retrieve the bag, most of the bottle has run down the driveway.

I had a hazy white run across much of the driveway.

I had some left-over Sherwin-Williams Xylene-bad Wet Look sealer from the install, and painted it over the damage and it instantly changed the haze back to clear.

That worked out perfect, but it made me realize that the sealer and stain were more delicate than I had originally thought.
