Quick question for everyone. My garage floor has a epoxy coating on it. The rear tires have left a brown spot on the floor. I know that's all about plasticizers in the tire compound. I have cleaned the spots off the floor and about 90-95% of it has come off.
My question is, what have you all used on the floor under the tires to stop future marks? I've seen mats with rubber backing that could work, but I'm concerned about the rubber backing transferring to the floor, either from tire heat or the car sitting, and making things worse. A neighbor suggested using outside carpeted door mats, but again, rubber backs. We have a kitty litter mat that is carpet material with no backing, but it's thin. I've even thought about cardboard, but that's kind of tacky. I'm not concerned about weather (rain, snow) since it's dry here. Any ideas?
