Its a water based 3-part epoxy, i put on 2 coats of light grey, topped by 1
coat
of their u-gloss clear. Did this about 4 months after the floor was poured -
it
was not power troweled. i did power wash and acid etch the floor, but since
it
was new i didn't have to worry about cleaning up oil or grease.
Floor in use for over a year now - results incredible - dragged edge of base
plates for 2 post lift across floor, left NO mark whatever. Jack stands leave
no marks, have dropped boards with protruding screw points from 2nd floor,
no marks. Have dropped other heavy objects i won't admit to from heights i
shouldn't have carried them to - no marks. So far every chemical and fluif
spilled has wiped up without a trace. Greasy footprints
left by thundering herd of maniacs known as TriumphClub of the Carolinas
cleaned right up.

The stuff was pretty darn expensive, but i have no regrets, considering
how well its held up.
Cheers
