Answer 3

i so want to know the answer to this also.

Answer 4

They make epoxy coatings that you can do yourself and will have it looking like new! Just google "Epoxy Garage Floor Coating"

Answer 5

Many people refinish the floors with a cement paint but there are other options.  There are special floors available just for the garage.  Check with a local like Home Depot or Lowes.

Answer 6

There are several ways to tackle this.

1)  You could apply an epoxy paint to the floor. Be sure to follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for cleaning--unless the floor is clean the paint won't stick. Here's how to apply the stuff, including a short video clip:

2) you could install a rubber overlay flooring designed for garages. These come in wide rolls and in various colors. They resist staining by petrochemicals.  

3) you could install interlocking modular tiles, another product designed for garages.

Answer 7

You can pressure wash it, Then if you want to get some kind of concrete varnish to give it a fresh look, you can buy that at Lowes or Home Depot. They have some that can give it the brown marbelized look. ( thats if the concrete is smooth, if its rough, you'd have to rent a concrete sander to get it smooth)

Anyway..this is the difference between unfinished and finished.
