Abstract
A shield is of concavo-convex molded construction and overlies at least part of an automobile wheel to protect the wheel during washing of a tire sidewall. Shield wall thickness tapers in a radial direction to provide a flexible marginal area capable of permitting the rim of the shield to be manually displaced to enable shield use with wheels of different diameters. A hand grip is provided by elongate openings in the shield.
