Fender cover protector? What do you like?

[Jacobson]

I tried to cheap out ....and ended up ordering a bedsheet fragment with no magnets. It always slides off the car. I'd like something better. Any certain size you like? I see some made of foam? Good or bad? Non-slip?

What do you like?

I have and still use a Snap On fender cover I bought in 1985.

I have a pair similar to the jegs ones that I got decades ago from supershops ( anyone remember supershops ? ) no magnets. I usually use a pair of moving blankets from HF. the smaller size seems to work well.

Jegs ones are nice I have a set of those. And 2 more sets that are like the jegs 1 STP set (found in trash) 1 set with mopar on them. They have like a soft sponge back and do not slide around. Also will absorb impact of dropped tool on them.

Ah yes supershops started by 2 guys that were fired from summit racing if i have the story right. They came on strong but only lasted a few years around this area.

I looked for a while and could not find what I wanted so I used what you see in my post: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f5/my-roush-sc-install-41433/

For my vehicles my jeans and belt buckles are good enough. I do remove my zipper sweatshirt though....

Just a heads up I have those magnet vinyl ones.
I was in a hurry to start a job that include a lot of leaning over the fender.
I marred the paint, so best to wash off any dust and use softer towels under.

Moving blanket

I have the old time kind with foam backing and a place to put tools down. They don't slip. Not sure if others may be better.

Bought a couple of these just last month (see link below) but only paid $10 each with free shipping. Good quality, magnets hold well, and no advertising. However, I would watch for a better price than the current $34.

We use ones that are basically a large shop rag in just about every shop I've ever worked in. Learned the hard way that the foam ones will grab and grind in any dirt/grit on the paint

 

[BonzoHansen]

I love these

I just grind my belt buckle into 'em.

I work on a diesel fleet and heavy equipment now. No more whining about the slightest rattle or imaginary paint scratches from the luxury car owner's segment.

Mechanics belt and no zippers here, if I were to really need to lay over a fender for an extended time, I'd just consider something like a basic towel. I want to be able to wash it for debris and dirt completely. "fender covers" can easily pickup grit and keep transferring it every time it is used.

Yoga mats. They are big and cheap. A lot of fender covers are made of the same stuff. I got mine from Menard's for less than $10 each. I also use moving blankets if I'm afraid of denting through the mats.

Set a bath towel over the fender then lay an old bath mat on top of that. The mat is weighty and has a rubber backing so it won't slide around. It's thick and cushiony so nothing is gonna dent the fender and the thick knap is comfortable to lean on and keeps tools and small parts from rolling off. The bath towel helps protect the paint. Been using 'em for years. Works great!!

That looks like a sheepskin mat, oooooooh the softness.

Ditto on the bath mat! Been using those for years since my vinyl cover cracked. Cushy to lean over and rubber backing is easy on the paint. Comes in an array of colors sure to match any décor.... Ha Ha

I prefer these:

I got this for $10.
The magnets are plenty strong to support the mat.
No reason to spend any more than this. Very pleased.
