    Will not go into a long diatribe but the bottom line is do not purchase their water containment mat as in my opinion the quality is sub-standard and the return/exchange policy is a nightmare.

    Did a chargeback on my CC in the end , hopefully this will save someone else some grief that I experienced which is too bad as I have had a good relationship with CG in the past and some of their products I am very fond of.

    Instead of something long and drawn out, that you`re trying to avoid, how about a few bullet points of why it was a poor solution?

    Never got around to it because my shop has a floor drain, but thought this thru and decided I could buy heavy duty pond liners online and using 2X lumber or the like, build my own for much less $

    Sorry for your experience Bob. IMO if Bob aka the godfather of gloss says its not right, no need to worry about it, just look for a different option.

    I`ve seen several others complain about this product too on various forums and Facebook. Sucks to hear though Bob.

    Sorry to hear Bob. This isn`t the first time someone has mentioned failure from these mats. Lets hope they fix them.

    Make your own! Heavy duty tarps and some foam or pvc tubing should do the trick!

    I purchased another Rightlook mat, I had one before but the berms finally wore out and the CG mat when the berms were inflated held more water so I did not have to drain the water during the wash (So the water runoff police do not get bent) the original lasted a longtime however and is much thicker , it`s a must as you never know when a jealous competitor might turn you in to jam you up even though you are compliant and nothing happens....... Just be vigilant and play the game and have your ducks on a row.

    I`m interested in purchasing the Rightlook mat as well... When you say the berms wore out, what exactly happened? I`m assuming it wasn`t just a simple fix like replacing the foam with newer uncompressed noodles correct? Thanks in advance
