uh, 13 year old thread, pretty sure they have moved on by now... please don't wake up ancient threads per forum rules.

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.

WHY ?
Is everything worthless and/or a bother, problem or a waste if it more than 5 years old?

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
).
