I don't recall how many times I dropped a nut, bolt, screw etc on the ground for the life of working on cars. It would be a nightmare if you drop something under or near the jack stands that you need to remove the tiles to get to.

How about jack stands? Are these tiles sturdy enough to hold the weight of the car on jack stands?
I have swisstrax instead of racedeck but to answer your questions.

1. You can lift them piece by piece, or for spills, you can quickly disconnect an entire section and drag it out of your garage for cleaning. I do this once a year after winter is over (powerwash the tiles w/ a floor attachment) and vacuum/wash the concrete underneath it. Tiles still look a solid 9/10.Those paint can openers you can get from HD/Lowes makes it real easy to lift the tiles with.

2. Depends on the bottom of the jackstand. If they are not flat, there is a chance you will indent the files. I put a spare piece of swisstrax under the jackstand to prevent this from happening. But the same goes for epoxy - the DIY kits dent easily as well.
