That looks really good! I've always liked the checkerboard floor look. I had the Rustolum guys come out and epoxy mine last year. The only things that will damage it are mustard and cat urine.

I did put a few coats of wax on it. The store manager threw it in with my purchase. It seals and waxes but, the hardest thing using it is removing any old glue before applying the wax.

protection under jackSTANDS is fine, but be careful with a floor jack. It needs to roll on those wheels to keep the jack pad directly under the jacking point, so don't try putting plywood under a floor jack.

Great job! Be careful of the white tiles turning yellow under your tires. I put them in my motorcycle trailer and the heat from the tires caused the problem. Let us know how it holds up over time. Check out gargejunkies.net for more info and ideas.

that's a good tip, thanks!


I have mats down and the car sits in the same spot all of the time and it just so happens that they are on black tiles.
