Protecting fenders while you work under the hood

Hey,
What is everyone using to protect your fenders while working under the hood.
I'm looking to purchase now.
Thanks for the info!

Moved since this is not specific to the GT/CS model.

I've also been told it's a good idea not to wear rings just to make sure they dont short out wiring or something, or perhaps shock you

Rings, watches, bracelets, and I use terry beach towels when I am under the hood.

No belt, untuck your shirt, remove your jewelry - it's probably tacky anyways.

As far as the fender, I also use a few older, but heavier weight towels. Same thing when swapping hoods or doing other body type work.

I've always had great success with my pocahontas towel.

That's what I use as well. Thicker than most towels, and the magnets at the corners are great for holding it in place.
