Hold Back Messy Winter with Epoxy Coatings

During the late spring, summer and early fall, California gets very little rain. A car that is well-maintained may never drip a drop of grease, oil, coolant or fuel on your garage floors. So why worry about stained concrete? But then the rainy season finally makes its appearance, and suddenly you realize it’s not just what your car drips, but what it carries that leads to floor stains.

Got Mud?

Some people seek the mud, with the tires, 4WD and lift kits to prove it. Others avoid it, but in winter weather that’s like trying not to get hit by raindrops. Mud and dirt make their way inside your garage when rainfall coats the streets and roadways. Grind it in with your wheels or shoes and now your porous concrete has a mud spot.

Got Water?

Just washing your car can bring water droplets into the garage. Add in stormy weather and you start to measure the water not in drops, but in puddles. Standing water leads to spotting after specific molecules in the concrete dissolve and then harden when exposed to air at the surface.

Got Leaves?

Parents appreciate the leaf patterns their children make in school, but no one appreciates wet leaves creating imprints on their concrete. Sadly, soak leaves in water and they release a potent staining molecule — tannin. That’s the same molecule found in tea and coffee that does such a good job of staining teeth, clothing and carpet. Since concrete is somewhat porous, it absorbs leaf tannins too and the dark spots left behind are proof.

What’s the Solution for a Clean Garage in Winter Weather?

Water, mud and leaves are a fact of winter weather and rainstorms. They get tracked into your garage. And you can’t alter the truth that concrete is porous. What you can do is hire California Custom Coatings to cover up those pores and create a beautiful, impervious surface for your garage floor. Epoxy coatings withstand all the typical automotive fluids without staining. Water, leaves, and mud won’t leave a scratch or a spot. Cleanup becomes easy! No more getting down on your knees to spray solvents and scrub away with cleansers to clean your concrete. Just pull out the mop, broom, or hose and your floor is spotless.
