ABSTRACT:
The mag tire wheel and wheel cover shield includes a generally cylindrical preferable flat flexible resilient disc of paper, plastic, metal or the like, designed to cover the outer face of a "mag" tire wheel or wheel cover so that the tire can be sprayed with a polish or coating without spraying the wheel cover or mag wheel. The disc has a handle on the outer surface thereof, either protruding therefrom or indented, to place and help hold the disc against the "mag" wheel or wheel cover. A hook-type peripheral rim projecting inwardly from the inner face of the disc allows it to be releasably hooked in place around the wheel cover rim or mag wheel rim. Alternatively a ring or strip of adhesive or spaced magnets, or one or more suction cups strategically placed may be used to hold the disc against the wheel cover or mag wheel. A hard shield may extend outwardly from the disc handle to protect the user's hand against spraying. An outer coating of polytetrafluorethylene or other smooth or slippery plastic protects the disc from the spray and provides a wipeable surface. In one embodiment the disc may have a plurality of concentric, peripheral, removable scored rings, each with its hooked outer rim, so that the diameter of the disc can be varied to match various diameters of wheel covers and "mag" wheels. In another embodiment, a kit is provided, including the disc and a number of snap-on rings of various diameters for the same purpose. The shield and kit are efficient, durable and inexpensive.
