Fender Mats

Hey guys, Im in need of some help.



What do you guys use for Fender Mats/covers? What do they use on high-end cars?



What is the best possible cover/process for not hurting the paint as far as the front fenders?



I try to do all my work myself so my paint doesn`t get touched. But what do I do if I have to take my truck in somewhere? Mechanics do not care and will scratch the s**t out of my fenders. I wont tolerate it. I`ve looked around and I can`t find anything. I`m almost positive you guys at Autopia can figure out something, so here I am.



Here is several things I thought of.



1) Should I tape the Fender with painters tape?



2) Should I ONR the fenders, Take Some EUROW Microfibers and tape them on, Then Take some Towel Microfibers and tape one over the Eurow`s, Then Put a fender cover on?



3) ???



Here is a LINK to some fender covers from Snapon

I usually just use one of my waffle weave drying towels (under a normal fender cover, that is)....

Ok, thats another option.



Come on guys, some feedback ?

Here`s what I have: Griot`s Garage pn 77675 (link: Ultra Soft Fender Cover - Griot`s Garage )

Thats exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the link.

I don`t like the thought of covering my paint with anything, but I understand at times (like with you) it`s mandatory. I`d apply some fresh wax/sealant to the panels around the hood and secure(with painters tape) some heavy mil plastic or some soft towels(or both). I`d prefer something that doesn`t move around. If you use one of those fender covers and the tech makes it fall to the ground he`ll just end up reinstalling it. Even if it`s dirty.

Here`s another idea, I think barry theal wrapped a car he detailed one time in it for transportation. Not sure how thick it is, but you wouldn`t have to worry about it slipping around like the microfiber cover (which looks like a good idea, just worried about getting dirt stuck to it and scratching the paint).
