Abstract

A temporary shield for covering a vehicle wheel in the course of applying a detailing solution to the sidewall of a vehicle tire seated on the rim of the wheel and comprising a generally disk-shaped body having a plurality of circumferentially extending markings in spaced concentric relation to one another relatively near the outer peripheral edge of the body and away from the center of the body to define circumferential lines of separation for selective removal of the circumferential portions radially outwardly of a selected marking so as to size the body to the size of the wheel. The body is of generally conical configuration and the markings are defined by circumferentially extending shoulder portions concentric to one another and to the outer peripheral portion of the wheel so that when the body is cut to size to fit a particular size of wheel the shoulder portion will fit snugly over the outer peripheral portion of the wheel.
