Abstract: A removable vehicle panel guard pad is configured to protect an exterior panel of a vehicle from external damage. The removable vehicle panel guard pad includes a weather resistant front outer layer. A rear outer layer is adapted to minimise scratching of the exterior panel during placement of the pad on the exterior panel of the vehicle. An inner layer is adapted to absorb the impact of any contact of the exterior panel by an external element, such as a door of another vehicle. The inner layer has a magnetic securing element that is adapted to magnetically secure the pad to the exterior panel of the vehicle. A tether is adapted to secure the pad to an attachment point inside the vehicle.
