Griot sells a lot of detail products, so I figured those covers were more for detail work under the hood than for actual mechanic work. I have used them under my heavy covers for extra paint protection. I can't figure out what you would put in the pockets.

I have a Griots fender cover. Slides around a bit, but does not scratch or make swirls in the paint.

If I were to use the pockets not thinking I'd probably lean against it and put a pressure dent in the fender.

I have some circular magnets with a keyring that I put on either end of the cover to hold it in place.

Exactly what I thought about mine. Good opportunity for a dent to appear.
