FINALLY!! Garage AND cars clean!! but not finished...
So here it is,
The 5 car wide garage cleaned out (well 4 of 5 spots aint too bad!) and the toys given a quick once over.... The hardest part was the epoxy floor but now that it is done..... the results are well worth the effort and the wait!!
Now all i have to do is finish the installs on the TT and i will be a happy camper!( ohh and finish cleaning/sorting the workshop side
)
Just wanted to share it with some like minded ppl......
More pics after more installls done on the TT....
Now off to do some more.... hope you enjoy!

WOW!! I am happy with it - and it is sort of nice to be hated by such an honourable bunch.... 
The other side of the garage is not quite as good... but the bench is almost finished (hiding all the junk!) just waiting on some checkerplate kickboards and a splashback....NOW then it will be nice!
I am not retired - and have always wanted a garage/workshop so when i built this house i cut down and change everything EXCEPT the garage space........
The floor went through a serious dose of prep, (1) after a sweep AND a vacuum (2) Acid etching then a wash out and dry (then a coat of Australian Made Berger "JET DRY" (heavy duty) which i mixed with epoxy hardener then (4) 16 hours later a second coat of the same.
I have had reservations about the "JET DRY" but the results speak for themselves. I looked into another product by Recine Paints (spellcheck) and it was a 2 part full epoxy...the problem being if i did it and didnt like the finish or wear characteristics - it would be there for ever..... so i decide to tkae the easy (!) option and then see how it goes....
Thanks for all of the +ve comments !!

Beautiful garage! You will learn as I have that you will now find yourself cleaning it often. That sort of garage contributes to our already **** behavor. Life is so unfair to the perfectionist.
Nice job, I know that you will enjoy the new home for your toys.
