Clean has jack to do with it! Grease for sure will effect applications. The main issue is age. Paint it to soon and it will peel. It takes several years for a slab to fully cure. If it was laid properly it will have heavy poly under the slab so there is no place for the moisture to go but through the paint! Gloss paint is the worst to use as it seals in the moisture. Thats why you should Never paint your house in the late fall and use a gloss finish. Personally I would never paint a garage floor. With the new epoxy kits out there do it in stages as you can afford it. For the record the correct terms are Cement AKA Concrete both made using Portland. Now leave Canada and well the terms go on and on.

Close but no cigar Diablo Cement is a constituent of concrete; as are coarse and fine aggregates, water and other admixtures. Portland Cement is in concrete and is the type of cement that is most common readily available cement.

Gezz I'm sorry I guess the rep from Lefarge is completely wrong!!!
Funny thing about terms as they follow region and location. I always refereed to concrete as the finished or mixed product. Cement to me was the result of heat/stone=powder. That powder with sand and 3/4 or so stone made concrete. Now I mention this and get corrected but told it depends on location.
To be honest I don't think it matters but people seem to always want to correct someone's terms on this board. Personally I could give a FLYING F**K what it is called. Bruce AKA the grammar queen started it! I just know it costs a shit load of money and I finally have some to work on. Unlike my previous rocks and or wooden floor.

Here the solution to overcome paying for concrete (works awesome)
1. Make friend with someone who drive a concrete truck 2. Form up what ever needs to be poured (ie. slab) 3. Wait for a load of concrete to be rejected on a site where they are testing it.
4. Accept concrete free of charge. 5. Finish as desired.
Keep money in the bank. ;D
My buddy got 15 cubic meters delivered one day free of charge cause Jaques rejected it as of high air content.
