This 2,150 sqft car detailing shop in Stayner, Ontario, was dealing with a serious flooring dilemma. With constant water runoff, chemical spills, and heavy rolling tool carts, the untreated concrete was a stain magnet, absorbing oil and moisture like a sponge. The shop needed a durable, easy-to-clean, and professional-looking floor that wouldn’t degrade under the daily grind of car detailing. On top of that, the existing surface lacked slip resistance, making it a potential hazard when wet. A standard concrete floor wasn’t cutting it—the shop needed a solution that could handle the workload while looking sleek and polished.
We installed a flake system with a polyaspartic topcoat, the ultimate solution for a high-traffic, chemical-prone environment. First, we ground down the existing surface and repaired imperfections, ensuring a flawless foundation. Next, a Cement Epoxy basecoat was applied, providing strong adhesion and long-term durability. We then broadcasted Domino Flakes to full rejection, creating a textured, non-slip surface that enhances both safety and aesthetics. The final step? A polyaspartic topcoat, which seals the floor against chemicals, UV rays, and everyday wear while allowing for quick and easy cleaning. In just four days, this detailing shop’s floor was transformed into a seamless, heavy-duty, and showroom-worthy space, ready to tackle whatever the business threw at it.
So, we roll up to this car detailing shop in Stayner, Ontario, and the first thing we see? A 2,150 sqft concrete floor that had been through some things. This place was dealing with oil stains, chemical spills, water pooling, and enough scratches and cracks to make any shop owner cringe. It was impossible to clean, totally lacking slip resistance, and honestly, just didn’t match the high-end vibe of a professional auto detailing business. A detailing shop should have a flawless, easy-to-maintain floor that shows off the cars, not one that absorbs every drop of grease and water like a sponge.
The owner wanted a garage floor coating that could take a beating, handle constant foot traffic, heavy rolling tool carts, and tire marks, all while looking sleek and professional. And let’s be real—nobody wants to scrub a garage floor after a long workday, so easy cleaning was a must. That’s when we knew exactly what to do: Flake System with a Polyaspartic Topcoat.
“Alright, first things first—fixing that floor.”
Before we could lay down the good stuff, we had to grind the surface down to perfection. Years of dirt, grime, and wear? Gone. Then, we repaired every single crack and imperfection, filling them with industrial-strength polyurea, and grinding them down again until the floor was smoother than a fresh paint job.
Once that was done, we laid down a rock-solid Cement Epoxy basecoat, which basically acts like concrete armor, bonding tight and creating a foundation that won’t quit. Then came the fun part—full flake broadcast with Domino Flakes. We didn’t sprinkle—we went all-in, covering 100% of the surface for that durable, textured, and slip-resistant finish. These flakes don’t just look sick—they add extra grip, perfect for when things get wet in a detailing shop.
“Time to seal it in and make it bulletproof.”
After the flakes cured, we scraped and vacuumed to make sure everything was even and smooth. Then, the final boss level—a polyaspartic topcoat. This is what locks everything in, makes the floor chemical-resistant, UV-stable, and damn near indestructible. Oil? Spills? Tire friction? Doesn’t stand a chance. One quick mop and it’s back to looking brand new.
“Four days later? Absolute game-changer.”
When the shop owner walked in, his face said it all. The floor was now a slip-resistant, chemical-resistant, high-gloss masterpiece that could handle anything a car detailing shop throws at it. Now, instead of fighting stains and cracks, he’s got a garage floor built for performance and style—just like the cars he works on.
