My Garage is all but complete & i was wondering what to seal the concrete floor with. Does any one have any experience with this sort of thing. I was thinking of a rubberised paint or ?. It'll be driven on & generally have the usual hazardous chemical spills i'd imagine. Petrol, diesel, thinners etc.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Best stuff is Jotun brand Polyurethane.
Prep is the key to getting a finish, otherwise it all blisters and peels. It may be exxie but it is worth grinding the concrete first.
Go here;
http://www.kennardshire.com.au/look up : concrete grinder - single head. Around about $160 for 24 hrs includes purchase cost of carborundum stones. Allow 24 hrs to get it right - its slow and time consuming work depending on the quality / age of your concrete.

seal it and then get some carpet , works brilliant when you are out there crawling around the floor
either get it for free from someone you know or check out the tradingpost search for demolition , find a house local that they are going to knock down and grab some carpet from them , nice people will give it to you or cough up 5-10 bucks or
beer
when it gets a bit dirty then bin in and get some more
