Common Concerns Answered
Will these covers adequately protect my gel coat from scuffing?
Yes, the Master Fender Covers HTM-4 are specifically engineered with a non-abrasive, loop-knit acrylic fabric designed to prevent fender scuffing and protect your gel coat from damage.
Are there any drawbacks to the single-layer construction?
