ABSTRACT:
A protective apparatus intended to be applied to an exterior portion of a vehicle, including a method for such application. The invention is a series of sheets or panels affixed to previously-determined places along the front nose of a vehicle to protect the paint and finish located at such areas. Specifically, the sheets are constructed of a polyvinyl chloride material in the preferred mode, and may be designed to be placed beneath a halter or “bra” cover of a vehicle, so as to protect the paint from damage caused by the halter. Such damage is commonly due to the vinyl, plastic, nylon, or cotton halter constantly rubbing against the vehicle exterior during vibration and wind. Thus, strips or pieces of the polyvinyl chloride material are specially placed upon the vehicle to provide a much-needed barrier between the halter and paint. Similarly, strips or pieces of the polyvinyl chloride material may also be placed as barriers between any other existing vehicle protection device and the vehicle itself. Finally, such strips or pieces may be adhered to the vehicle by the method of static cling, wherein electrostatic properties of the material allow the same to tightly engage the vehicle surface absent the usage of adhesives. As such, the adhesion method allows the polyvinyl chloride strips to be removed from the vehicle and re-used in a convenient manner.
