Default Jacks that wont damage a nice floor?????

What do all you folks out there use to jack up your cars that wont damage or scratch up a nice garage floor??? If there even is such a thing....I just recently had my garage floor redone with epoxy. It is pretty tough stuff and light scratches will come right out with a light polish and wax. I am worried about putting deep marks in it with jacks and stands, etc. What do you all do to help eliminate this??? Thanks in advance for reading this and any info!!!!!Name:  PB150014.jpg

If you buy 2x6 and make 12 inch cuts you have the perfect base for a jack stand. I personal use Quickjack to get my Cobra off the ground. Takes me three minutes from start to finish. I own Good Year Billboards so they are always off the ground when I’m not running to avoid flat spots.

I just use a 2'x3' piece of Masonite. Thin, light, easy to store and cheap.

I couldn’t remember the term Masonite. That’s what I meant by high density brown board. Even 1/8” thick Masonite provides adequate protection for jacks and Jack stands.

Also, look at the new 2' X 2' boards with rubber on them for basement floors. They are (I think) 1/2" ply with a rubber dimpled backing to keep the moisture out. I would think they would be a nice cushion and non-skid. Home Depot carries them in the plywood area.
