Yes that is my hot rod 65 Riviera. Garage is designed to hold 5 cars on the floor easily but I could probably squeeze 8 in with GoJacks. Also wired for car lifts and 11'4" ceiling. Plan was to put a side by side two car lift in the back.

Looks great Charley!~   getting close to 'populating it'.. :)

?  What exactly do you mean by 'floors polished'??  Is it coated/sealed with a clear sealer and then polished?  how?

I will piggy back onto Gary's comment, looks great. I assume concrete running up to the doors, What else still needs to be done?

Our polishing process consists of seven basic steps of mechanical grinding and polishing. Depending on the current condition of the floor, the process may require more steps, or even less. The first three steps prepare the floor by flattening and leveling it using metal bond diamond grindings. These steps are crucial to ensure proper finishing and safety standards. The last four steps use resin bond diamonds for polishings. These steps seal the floor and polish it to a matte, satin or glossy finish. Yezco’s VOC compliant polishing method brings out the natural strength and beauty of the concrete—without harming the environment.

Thanks Charley!   It's so shiny it appears to have a coating of some sort...  :)

I think it is just really really polished. I have never had a coating hold up.

 A lot of people report they haven't had finishes hold up (generally talking about epoxy paints), but my experience is the opposite.  I've finished around 5000 sf of garage space (4 different garage spaces) with two different kinds of epoxy (most recently the Rustoleum Professional Epoxy) over the last 17-18 years and the only spot I've had that suffered damage was from acid that leaked from a battery in a corvette I'd purchased.   I think the variability factor in my experience versus that of others is the *preparation* and following directions.   One cannot just 'apply' the epoxy and expect it to work.  In my situations, I've let new concrete 'cure' for a few months, followed by thorough cleaning, followed by acid etching, followed by more thorough cleaning, and then *sufficient drying* before the application of the epoxy.   After application, one needs to wait for the epoxy to cure before driving on it.  I love the epoxy because it cleans up so easily after any spill and is also easy to keep clean.

I like the looks of your 'polished' floor but I'm curious if the 'polished surface' also resists liquids (oils, etc) from soaking into it??   And is it 'slippery' when wet?  I've learned thru experience to put a little 'sand' in the epoxy paint to overcome the slippery when wet problem.

My shop at home has a 3 part epoxy system on it that was guaranteed against all chemicals except maybe brake fluid left on it for a extended period of time. This was the second coating the company had done. First one was a Urethane coating that the parent chemical company screwed up the mixture and it failed instantly. They paid the contractor to buy a diamond grinder to grind the entire floor and then do the 3 part epoxy. Been about 10 years now and stuff like trans fluid, gasoline etc now stains it. Hot tires also lift it. Company is no longer in business.
