How to Care for Your
Garage Floor Coating

A professionally installed polyaspartic floor is one of the lowest-maintenance surfaces you can have. A little routine care keeps it looking showroom-perfect for decades.

Daily and Weekly Cleaning

Sweep or dust mop regularly

A soft-bristle broom or microfiber dust mop removes grit that can scratch the surface. In Montana, especially important during winter when road salt and gravel get tracked in on tires.

Clean spills immediately

Your polyaspartic coating resists oil, gasoline, brake fluid, antifreeze, and most chemicals. For oil or grease, use a paper towel to absorb, then clean with mild detergent.

Rinse with water

A garden hose or bucket of clean water handles most cleaning. The sealed surface rinses clean quickly without absorbing water.

Monthly Deep Cleaning

Use a pH-neutral cleaner diluted in warm water. Mop and rinse thoroughly.

Avoid These
Soap-based cleaners that leave residue
Acidic cleaners like vinegar or citrus-based
Harsh alkaline cleaners at high concentration
Steel wool or abrasive scrubbers

Montana-Specific Tips

Road salt season Nov through Apr

Road salt is corrosive to concrete but your polyaspartic coating protects completely. Rinse the floor regularly during winter when temperatures are above freezing.

Hot tire pickup

This is a common failure with inferior epoxy coatings. Our polyaspartic topcoat is specifically formulated to resist hot tire pickup. You will not have this problem.

Snow melt and mud

Park wet vehicles without worry. The surface is impermeable — water, mud, and snow melt sit on top and can be swept or mopped up easily.

Long-Term Care

Inspect annually

Once a year, look for any chips or areas where the coating has lifted. Small issues addressed early prevent larger problems.

Topcoat refresh after 15 plus years

After 15-20 years of heavy use, you may choose to have a fresh topcoat applied. Significantly less expensive than full reinstallation and restores the original gloss.
