I wonder if you could do better with another product for less money...
It seems like the stuff in that catalog is way overpriced ($80 for a car wash brush?!).
It may be good but maybe you can do better/cheaper with another brand.

You can get much cheaper at industrial supply.
You definitely do NOT want to use the Latex floor paint from Home Depot, etc. It will lift.
Go to industrial supply and get the polymer paint used on warehouse floors. Before applying you have to clean/etch the concrete with muriatic acid which will rot your lungs (use a breather!)and make your house uninhabitable. Then roll on the paint. PITA but awesome result.

Hey those $70 boar bristle brushes are da bomb!
They really are the best thing going for car washes but I agree, way overpriced. I haven't been able to find another source though. Anyone else?

My garage is being painted today...
<center><img src="http://www.richardspaint.com/pages/products/images/can_2200.gif"></center><p>The painters are using Richard's Industrial Coatings 2200 Series in grey. They pressure washed and then acid washed yesterday. Today the the primer goes on and tonight the two part epoxy goes down. I will let you know how is turns out.
2200 SERIES PART A & PART B
Industrial Solvent Gloss Epoxy Coating
Richard's Industrial Solvent Gloss Epoxy Coating is a highly industrial, two component, polyamide-epoxy activated finish coating designed for application on most new and previously painted surfaces. It provides superior protection for surfaces exposed to corrosive type environments and is formulated to be chemically resistant. It is also alkali resistant, moisture resistant, extremely durable and resists acids, solvents, fumes and household and commercial cleaners. It dries to a diamond hard finish and resists chipping, cracking, and peeling. FOR INTERIOR & EXTERIOR USE!<ul><li><a href="http://www.richardspaint.com/pages/products/industry.htm">Richard's Industrial Coatings</a></li></ul>

It failed in one year for me.
