Door guards and exterior car protectors are devices designed to protect the car's body from accidental damage during everyday use. Here's a more detailed description:
Door protectors :
Function : These are plastic or rubber protectors that are applied to the edges of car doors. They prevent scratches, dents, and damage caused by impacts with walls, other vehicles, or obstacles when opening the door.
Material : They are usually made of rubber, PVC, or durable plastic, and can be either adhesive or clip-on. Some models also have a metal layer for added strength.
Installation : They can be applied directly to the door surface using adhesive or clipped on, so as not to damage the car's paint. Some models are also designed to be easily removable.
External car protections :
Function : These protectors, more general than door protectors, are designed to protect the most vulnerable areas of the car from scratches, impacts, and damage while parking or driving. They can include bumper protectors, rearview mirrors, side panels, and corners.
Types :
Bumpers : Soft or hard protections that fit over the front and rear bumpers to absorb light impacts and prevent damage to these vital components.
Rearview mirror frames : Plastic or rubber protectors that fit around the side mirrors, preventing damage from accidental impacts.
Protective films : Thin but resistant adhesive films that are applied to sensitive areas of the car (such as handles, door edges, or fenders) to prevent scratches and marks from everyday use.
Wheel covers and rim protectors : Devices that protect wheels and rims from scratches or damage caused by curbs or other objects during maneuvering.
Material : These protectors are generally made of durable materials such as rubber, plastic, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), or carbon (for more premium solutions). Some high-quality models are designed to blend in with the car's original design, while others are visible to emphasize a more sporty or protective look.
Overall, both devices are very useful for keeping your car in tip-top condition, especially if you park in tight spaces or frequently drive in crowded environments.
