I used a sealer on the floor in my old shop and every time I spilled gas or brake cleaner it turned into glue.

I have had no issues with the coating dissolving when coming into contact with gas or brake clean. I had a car on a lift for several weeks that had a small gas leak and had a red shop rag on the floor to soak it up. The dye from the shop rag transferred onto the coating, but it did not lift, peel or break down. The only time I've been able to get the coating to lift or fracture is if a piece of steel hits it and actually knocks a plug out of the concrete. I've had steel wheel floor jacks, trans jacks and engine stands roll on it and it's held up very well. It has to cure a full 7 days before you put anything on it. Sherwin Williams actually has REPs that will come to your site and look it over with you as well. They may have an even better product now. Something to consider!

I couldn't be happier with the lights. They are cost effective and super bright. Being LED they save energy too.
