Should I rent a concrete grinder or stick with power washing and chemical etching for my garage floor redo, and is Rust-Oleum Polycuramine a good coating choice?

I’m considering redoing my garage floors. The concrete is still in decent condition, just a few stains. Can’t decide if I should rent a grinder or stick to power washing and chemical etching. Any thoughts on using rust-oleum polycuramine for coating? Thanks for any advice!
I decided to hire a professional to handle it. Turned out really well. It was pretty pricey, though. The product he used is officially licensed. Some specific tools were necessary for the job. Remember, you only get one chance at it.
Listen to me: shag carpets
I did this around ten years back with fairly new and spotless garage floors. Sprayed muriatic acid for etching the concrete, then applied roughly 10 gallons of a professional epoxy paint blend that I purchased from Benjamin Moore. Avoid the inexpensive Rustoleum or similar brands from local hardware stores. I even got some custom flecks with various cool colors.

I followed in the footsteps of and did the same thing five years back. I have never regretted that decision. My neighbors are always impressed.
Regular paints won’t last long, epoxy coating is the way to go. It’s a tough job, requires hard work and if not done right, it can be a disaster. I recommend hiring a local professional with years of experience in this field. Local experts ensure quality work to avoid negative reviews and benefit from positive referrals. They also provide quick fixes if needed and usually offer warranties. Best of luck.
I finished my project using Aquapon WB EP from PPG 8 years back. It was a breeze and still looks great.
