as you who have seen the shop area before, it is now much expanded, we are waiting for another lift to be installed and then will refinish the floor, we are between epoxy and concrete polishing. Please does anyone have an opinion on either method?

We have polished and stained concrete throughout the lower level of our house, including the garage. We love the look but in the garage, I have acid damage and oil staining because the acrylic sealer that was recommended to us by the contractor was not durable enough to protect the concrete. There must be good clear epoxy sealers out there but I've been pretty disappointed following the advice of our local "pros". It's hard to beat the look of stained concrete if you can protect it.
