I usually drive the truck in the snow, so I'd be pulling into the bay with the FreeFlow XL. That works great; the snow melts and flows through the flooring, which never becomes wet or slippery. But I got stuck in a snowstorm so I got to try the Charred Oak... The snow melted and left lots of...

Yeah it's not perfectly designed for the task. It handles regular day-to-day dirt perfectly. In the fall, dead leaves that blow in do disappear, but it sometimes takes two passes as the first pass smashes them up into smaller pieces and the second pass removes them. Rain is a bigger issue. No...
