Not a new game but a problem I ran into yesterday. First time I changed the oil at home since I had the floors done. The poly ramps I have would just slide on the floor when I tried to drive up them.
I had an old rubber backed rug I cut into strips and put under each ramp. Worked fine then but I managed to put a small scratch on the floor the first time without them.
So be wary and be prepared.

I think this was covered a year or so ago but I hadn't see it posted in awhile.

I did the same thing this weekend! My truck is on my lift until I get an engine going for it, so I had to use the old method. Dang ramps kept moving until I stuck 2 of those rubber floor mats under the thing. Scratched up the floor a little on the first couple of attempts, but my floor is beyond new now so I'm not worried anymore. I was **** until I got the first big mark and then I got over any subsequent marks.

Grey Epoxy with flakes and clear coat.

The stang just slid the ramps forward.

Yeah, BMW, my other garage floor is getting trashed with the resto work going on there. How's epoxy pressue wash? I'd think it would do fine but...
So far I haven't let that one bother me.
