I've done three residential garage floors now with two part epoxy, properly
applied and I can tell you that after 10 years each of those floors looked
virtually the same as when the epoxy was applied. And oil wipes up with paper
towels.

That said, you need to do the prep properly and you need to use a real
industrial two part coating - not the junk they sell in the big box or retail
paint stores. If you live in California, you have my condolences. I suspect all
they sell there (thanks to CARB) is the water based junk.

I'm partial to Benjamin Moore's industrial line, but there are others.

If you Google Groups on Bob's name and epoxy, you'll see he seems to have
something of a crusade against epoxy floors... :)
