Troubleshooting
Hot Tire Pickup on Garage Floors
Hot tire pickup is one of the most common complaints with garage floor coatings. It happens when warm tires bond to the coating surface and pull it up when you drive away.
What you need to know
- Hot tire pickup is caused by the heat and plasticizers in tires softening a weak coating bond.
- DIY kits and cheap coatings are most susceptible because they use water-based products with poor adhesion.
- Proper diamond grinding prep and industrial-grade materials are the best prevention.
- Our Lifetime Satisfaction Warranty specifically guarantees against hot tire pickup.
- If your current floor has this problem, the coating usually needs to be stripped and the floor recoated with a professional system.
If you're dealing with this issue, the fix usually starts with a proper slab assessment. We can take a look and give you honest options — no obligation.
