Fender covers for engine work

Thanks for the input guys. Consensus is not to use them. There are some that are washable. I'll invest in some large microfiber towels.

Be careful about which uf towels you get. Some use thread for the hem that can scratch paint. Plenty of recommended brands in the Detailing / Washing / Waxing / Cosmetic Maintenance and Repair section.

Just FYI. Never wear a belt and wear a soft long T-shirt.

Rusty, Zingston, and especially Spooler swear by only wearing speedos while working on their Zs. #thoughtstoconsider.
