Abstract: Vehicle finish protection apparatus is disclosed which is adapted for temporary installation on a vehicle when the vehicle is parked closely adjacent another vehicle and is therefore susceptible to finish damage as a result of the edge of a door of the adjacent vehicle impacting against the side of the vehicle to be protected. The vehicle finish protection apparatus includes unitary first and second elongated sections, triangular in cross sections joined by a living hinge such that the first and second elongated sections are normally aligned in an operational configuration, but may be folded together at the hinge to effect a compact storage configuration. The means for securing a hinge are on separate faces of the sections so that one section can be swung up and away and back on itself with one hand for easy use in tight spaces.
