Wow is right! That looks great. How's the traction? Not too slick?

Wow, indeed! It DOES look like a dealership. Makes me want to come in and buy your car.... Very nice.

A few ??s, if I may.... Did you shop around? Was the company recommended to you? Any thoughts on the cost for a 2-car plus golf cart garage? What about maintenance....timewise and costwise?

Looks awesome. Now that I have a good picture, hopefully I can convince my DW.

Default I love it!!!
I'm not there now but I will tell you what I know.

I'm told it's not slick at all!!! Something in it to give you traction when you walk. We are going to invite Gracie over to test walk it when we get there.

Since the company does different applications, I don't want to quote a price. I would suggest you call them and see what they have!

The product is not a Home Depot or Lowes product which I believe is the WOW factor! This is a professional grade product!

The company was recommended by Pooters... Who you all know I trust!!! He is known for taking care of a problem should it arise! I will tell you EVERYTHING when it's all done!

More to come!!!!

Excellent point. I'd like to keep my skating days in the past, or at least at my choosing....

If slick is an issue are there any options like, perhaps, an abrasive sand-like ingredient?

Good luck with your new floor. If you've got an electric golf cart, you'll need to protect the floor from battery acid. We've also discovered that Simple Green does not do well with epoxy, and will ruin epoxy. So it's not as impervious as they'd have you believe.

This is what I found about care and cleaning of an epoxy floor!

http://artistic1.ipower.com/index.html

I told hubby about the Simple Green and he informed me that the floor would NEVER get dirty!!!!

This my friends is why men should not be in charge of cleaning!!!!

Yeah... I kinda thought Gracie wouldn't test the floor! To be honest... I don't want her to... I believe in the old adage.... protect the person who feeds you... or something like that... and Gracie feeds me!!! I don't want anything to happen to that lady!
