Well we painted our garage floor gray about 10 years ago and when oil spills
I clean it up with cat litter and then if there is any marks left I just get
out the floor mop and some ammonia (sp?) and it mops up as good as new.
The paint we used isnt that cheap if I remember correctly, it was a
polysomethingrather 2 part epoxy paint, it smells really bad until it drys
and takes about 2 days of drying before you can drive on it. But it hold up
really well and cleans up real good.
