Abstract
Abstract A fender protector of the type used by automobile mechanics composed of a vinyl cloth-backed fabric on which is affixed by contact cement flexible magnetic strips alternated from one side to the other to render the cloth nonslippable along the fender and provide the mechanic ribbed and magnetically responsive areas where he can temporarily place and secure tools and parts. The magnetic strips are preferably spaced at equal distance apart and parallel. However, there may be more magnetic strips in one side of the cloth than the other and may be concentrated in a specific area of nearer to one edge of the cloth of the protector.
