If you have any chemical sensitivity it is worth it.
And half the price direct from the manufacturer compared to Amazon.

A little bottle goes a long way. I bought this three-piece when I misplaced my original bottle. I've only used half of it in a year and a half.

FordUp has a great video about it and it has freed up stuff that WD didn’t touch.

And for things that you don't want to slather with oil, like the small handwheel to raise and lower the Billy Goat, a few drops made it go from maybe 8 pounds of force down to 2.

I'll look into Kroil too, can't be keeping too much money in the eallet, makes me sit lopsided! =D

I got my Dr. ColorChip today, thanks to @TheAssuager and the endorsement of others. Now I need a warm day. Already watched videos and it sure can do a good job.

I also got more Blue Creeper - I sure love that stuff. I used some on three water shutoff valves that have been screwed onto their pipes for 60 years. 3/8" female iron pipe fittings and they came off beautifully. Thanks @Fordup! =)

You got this! Steady hand...

@subquark - thanks for the link for direct purchase. I just grabbed some blue creeper to help keep the spirits of broken bolts away. I don't trust PB and I'm not ready for a $400 induction heater, either. (As much as I want one...)

Well not exactly for my Ranger or in the mail. The UPS lady came walking up the driveway while I was working on winterizing the TT with this cart full of boxes and says where do you want them. Hadn't expected them because Hadn't gotten any shipping info. Not I have something to do next week.

Edit, forgot to say it's the RaceDeck tiles for the garage floor.

Update: I found out today there should have been 3 more boxes. I'm in the middle of installing today and realized I don't have enough tiles! Panic time! I try to all vender, get the "all service people are busy, leave your number and we'll get back to you, as soon as possible." Next try to call UPS get a stupid AutoCall system, telling me to go to their website and file a claim. We'll broke for lunch, went to check the mail and low and behold there are 3 boxes on my back porch. It is a door we don't use often. UPS did a stealth delivery this morning. Must have found them in the truck when they got back to the shop on Saturday.

Well, got the install finished. Love the look. Hardest part was measuring and trimming the outside pieces to fit against the irregular curb concrete.

Looks like Tracy parked it :inspect: .
That's the trouble with having square lines on the floor! The wife wouldn't let me pull hers in after she saw how crooked mine was.?

You should have told her the truck is straight it's the tiles that are crooked. ;)

I have a small garage, 13x21, and did RaceDeck (made in America!!!) for right at $1000. Only needed a handful of threshhold pieces.

I've been really happy with them and even walk barefoot on them.

We used a viny plank cutter which made it easy on my shoulders, although I think an M12 circular saw with the right blade could be good too.

Love your pics and job well done! =)

wanted to do Space Invaders alien but felt I should be a grown up for that money =D

Tell me more about this? Is it like a vinyl but for the garage? Do you need to level first? My garage floor has settled slightly since it was poured (prior to our purchase) pretty minor but with flooring you never know how that affects things ??‍♂

Had some custom size American Flag auto stickers made for the Ranger for behind the fender vents ? put those on today

Is that stuff perforated? What happens if you have an oil, paint or antifreeze spill if if is? Even dump mud on tires would be trouble. Looks like it would have to be removed for total cleanup. Guess you guys only use garages for parking.
