Solved! - How To Prevent Front End Scratches!

For 2 years I have been yelling at the dog every time he walks by the front of the car wagging his tail. Unfortunately, his tail is about as soft as a wheel brush. Add to that whatever grit he laid in and basically he's been scrubbing the heck out of front end with a sandy brush all this time.

I wasn't going to polish the front end again until I took some preventive action. It was either this or cut his tail off and I think the neighbors might wonder what happened to his tail.

I started with two 1/4 sheets of plywood, 3 2x4's, 6 adjustable angle braces, and YES, those foam pieces are indeed Adam's Tire Dressing applicators cut in half (it's all I had handy)

This is what I ended up with. Works great for runaway bikes, scooters, shop vacs, and other stuff too.

Not a bad idea, you could probably patent that.

I guess I should at least put an Adam's sticker on there since I did slaughter the Tire applicators to use them as foam bumpers.
