This product is a waste of money, it is a plastic sheet with garden hose running through it. Don't be fooled by the misleading technical details. The good news is that it shipped quickly and it was folded up real nice. Garden hose was high quality green hose.

The car pad was exactly as I expected, good quality and easy to install. I would recommend it to anyone.

This car mat fits under my car perfectly and is very heavy duty. I've bought two now, each one lasts approximately 3 years and I live on a gravel road so I can't help but have gravel caught in my tires. If you live on a paved road it would last much longer. The setup is tricky, so I learned to use an air hose to blow the hoses that come with it into the rolled edging, much easier than trying to push it through. This mat literally holds gallons of water and melted snow off the floor. Easy to mop or shop vac the water off. Keeps my garage floor dry and clean, I just pull it out once a year to clean under it the dry dirt/dust. Also helps me pull into the garage correctly with the car lined up where I want it to be and not off sideways where I might clip the door frame backing out. I'll definitely buy another one when this second one wears out.

Carpad has made a wonderful product. We have two for vehicles and one for a riding mower. Everyone who sees the inside of our garage comments on them and wants to know where to get one. The mat captures water, road salt, snow, ice, and grime, keeping your garage floor clean. In good weather, we hose and scrub ours off, dry them in the breeze or sun, and put them back. We've replaced one already from years of use and will replace the others as needed. A practical product worth the money. Follow the directions when inserting the hose side barriers. It's much easier if you do. The voice of experience.

This is nothing more then a very thin plastic tarp that tares easily. You are better off spending $10 at Home Depot for a tarp and $7 for a garden hose and making the same thing yourself, which would be much more durable and far cheaper. Esthetically this car mat is nicer but fairly priced, only worth about $20 retail.

I received the product and tried to unroll it. It's cold in Connecticut right now. The floor protector would not flatten out. The on-line description does NOT mention that their directions state to unroll the protector in the sun at a temperature of 90F. Also, the temperature has to be a minimum of 50F to apply a tire abrasion pad to the protector. Their instructions state the garage floor has to be defect free and vacuumed to prevent stones,etc. from damaging the protector! OK - what about all of the sand and small stones that fall off of the car with the ice and snow after winter driving!

I RETURNED this defective product - it would not unroll and flatten out. I suspect that even if I was able to install it, it would be quickly damaged due to driving over it with small stones, etc. that accumulate with each snow storm.
