Very nice thing to do for your dad.

Love that garage. Great looking floor and cabinets.

I wouldn't wax or change the oil in a car in there. I would be afraid i might mess it up .

Actually, that flooring is epoxy and is impervious to oil. I know since I have the same flooring and spent 30 minutes cleaning up used oil from mine yesterday. Looks as good as before the spill.
