Is your house for sale? It struck me as a staged property by a realtor.
The next buyer will have the garage stuffed full of so much junk that they can't get a single car into a 3-car garage.

Just tidying up a bit from the version you see in my gallery and below. Originally, I did one of those "garage floor kits" but wasn't entirely successful with the hot tire thing as you can see. :)I took lots of pics to restore my collection of signs and stuff but am trying to lean it out a bit. And replace rusty nails with galvanized screws. Gave away the big ladders hung from ceiling and new hexagonal LED lighting should replace the four old fluorescent fixtures removed.
Coincidentally, my wife's elderly parents who live down the street from us are moving back to Georgia. Her Dad is OCD to the max with tools and his figuring out what to pack was a chore. If having one set of sockets was good, he had six!

One of life's rules is never throw away tools. This is why I have four garden rakes, even though I don't remember the last time I used one. This is also why I have five pairs of pliers. They're each a little different, so they each have their applications.
Paint brushes, on the other hand, ...

We are inclusive and diverse, but dissent will not be tolerated.
I, too, used a DIY garage floor kit, and I, too, have the tire track spots, though not as extensive as yours was in the 'before' picture.I tell myself I kind of like that it has a 'lived-in' patina, but if I stop and think of how much time I spent cleaning, acid etching, priming and coating...it looks more like the 'patina of failure.'
Otoh, I do like that most of the garage floor looks better and I can ponder whether I will go to the trouble of repainting while I enjoy and iced tea and listen to my garage system.

I did the whole clean, etch, etc. process but that didn't seem to work. The painters first sanded off the old coating as well as roughing up the base for better adhesion. Which left dust everywhere as is still visible in places. Even got in the closets. Put down first coat, took a siesta and then the second coat.
I'm hoping that's the key difference. I didn't feel bad for the $1800 charge as it took three of them all day long!
You might have gotten my UK custom humor regarding tea. On one trip to Scotland, our B&B hosts were perplexed that my wife likes (unsweetened) iced tea. I got a Coke someplace and was given a lone ice cube. When I requested more, they happily complied but gave me a look like "why on earth do you want so much ice?" :)
