Default Garage wall finish?

I've wondered this as well. I want to do it cause I would like to be able
to wash the car in there in the winter. I also thought about using the
drywall that is used in bathrooms, then tape it up really well. Then paint
with good quality semigloss paint. Then line the bottom half of the wall
with thin Pexiglass to resist "most" of the water, sealing the joints with
clear waterproof chaulking.

That should be a good protection against rot.

Anyone see anything wrong with that setup?

My winter project is going to be to finish off my garage. It is
presently heated, insulated and drywalled. What kind of finish should
I have put on the walls? Plaster? Kalkote? Is there something I can
put on, then paint with at good paint so when I want to clean the
garage I can come in and just hose the walls down without damaging
them? I had my kitchen updated a couple years back and they used
kalkote. Fiberglass tape on the joints, spread the kalkote over the
tape and any small imperfections in the drywall, looked less labor
intensive than filling and sanding seams.


Thanks

You mean other than a sh*tload of moisture in an enclosed space? What
could be wrong with that?
