There are 3 keys to getting good results:
1. Good prep work
2. Good prep work
3. Good prep work
For awhile, I was a facilities manager at a manufacturing plant built in the '40's. Even when we used the $3.00 A SQUARE FOOT epoxy coating in hallways, if there was residual oil in a crack or left over muratic acid it wouldn't last a year before there would be a bubble show up someplace, indicating that the epoxy wasn't adhering to the floor. The contractors we used were professional painting firms, and they'd scrub the floor with muratic acid and a floor buffer with a wire brush pad and then clean up that mess and scrub the floor several more times to neutralize the acid.
Guys with new concrete floors still need to do the best job prepping the floor as they have as many issues as the ones with old floors, just different ones.
