What's the difference how old the thread is. The subject is still valid and the post was informative.

I did my garage floor with ucoatit when I moved into my house almost 13 years ago. The house was brand new and never had a car in it at that time. I followed the instructions to a T. It was beautiful for quite a while and then I had some tire lifting, but mostly under the front tires and very little under the rears. I pull into the garage. They did send me some repair kits but I haven't had any more peeling since the original problem. The rest of the floor still looks good and shiny 13 years later. My only recommendation is to do a solid color without the terazzo effect. I can't tell you how many times I've dropped something on the floor while working on a vehicle and couldn't find it.

Well, my bad, I apologize, most forums have rules on resurrecting old threads, especially when they are answering a decade old question... continue on...

You get a lot more resurrection now that the forum suggests similar posts. Maybe the forum should omit 5yo+ threads from the suggestions.
I'm guilty of accidentally resurrecting an ancient thread myself.

Sounds like after 13 years the product hasn't really gotten much better; hopefully the customer service has gotten better!
My neighbor used U-Coat and had similar issues a couple of years back. He said that the Customer Service Rep suggested not driving into the garage when the tires were hot off the road. He also suggested using a thin rubber parking mat.
As for me, I don't have a coated garage floor; I have plastic garage tiles (which has its own set of problems
).
