Best garage floor surface protector?

Ideally I’m looking for something:

- Non-permanent
- Waterproof
- Strong enough to put down a 350lbs motorcycle kickstand and not pierce it.
- Strong enough to jack up a motorcycle or maybe truck. I could use additional sheets or plates to support the jack and jack stands if needed.

I’ve seen some rubber but worry I’d crush or pierce it. Really hard rubberized plastic might work.

Other ideas:
- Plywood with paint
- Hard roll of rubberized plastic (like they use for RVs?)
- Soft rubber with wood or plastic sheet on top.

I’m also looking for something portable I can toss under my truck if I work outside the garage on the driveway. Again the material would need to support jack and jack stands. With this it would be ideal if it had some channels or other ability to stop oil from dripping off the edge of the surface in case the ground is not perfectly level.

Tips? Any experience would be much appreciated.

Race deck.

Race deck is not waterproof. I need it to be totally oil proof.

Maybe if I put a sheet of plastic under the racedeck it would work. But it could lead to other issues.

Any thoughts on a waterproof floor option?

An Office Chair Mat would work.

Just don't get the ones designed for carpet, you would want the hard surface mat that is designed for use on hardwood floors.

like this. https://www.uline.com/BL_2123/Hard-Surface-Chair-Mats

They are expensive, but if you have a used office furniture store nearby I bet they are much more reasonable there.
