A good soft fender cover is the BEST solution!
Kent looked long and hard to find the best fender cover. He started with some really expensive ones from Matco but they wore out and started cracking after 5 years. Cost may not always be the benchmark of high quality! Recently he found a fender cover that was flexible enough that it would actually stay on a Mercedes front fender. It was also soft enough and thick enough to protect the car. And finally, it has a nice grove sewn in so it can hold some tools on the top of the fender.
