Abstract: A portable vehicle finish protection apparatus adapted for temporary magnetic installation on a vehicle when the vehicle is parked closely adjacent another vehicle and is therefore susceptible to exterior 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 a unitary body formed of a relatively dense polyethylene closed cell foam material having first and second elongated bumper sections which are joined by a living hinge such that the first and second bumper sections are normally aligned in an operational configuration, but may be folded together at the hinge to effect a compact storage configuration. Each of the first and second bumper sections includes flat, flexible magnet panels distributed along its length to facilitate removably affixing the apparatus to the side of a vehicle by magnetic attraction.
