A wheel rim protector is a device for safeguarding the rim of an automobile tire during the application of cleaning or decorative compositions in detailing processes. The protector is designed to be held by a user or temporarily attached to the rim. The wheel rim protector comprises a fan-like structure with multiple ribs pivotally connected to a handle, facilitating selective expansion and retraction. A shield, affixed to the ribs, includes magnets for magnetic attachment to ferromagnetic materials of the rim. The protector may be made from resilient and washable materials, which ensures durability and ease of maintenance in various detailing applications.

A bicycle rim comprises a tire-attachment portion, an inner peripheral portion, a first side portion, a second side portion, and a first non-contact printed deposit. The inner peripheral portion is provided radially inwardly from the tire-attachment portion with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle rim. The first side portion includes a first curved surface. The first non-contact printed deposit is at least partly provided on the first curved surface. A first tangential line is defined on the first curved surface in which the first non-contact printed deposit is provided. A first surface angle is defined by the first tangential line and a reference plane perpendicular to the rotational center axis. The first surface angle is larger than 30 degrees.

A guard comprises a body having an obverse surface and reverse surface, the surfaces in mutually opposed orientation and having a thickness (t) intermediately disposed between the surfaces and with the surfaces mutually terminating at an outer circumferential periphery. The guard includes a first channel disposed within the reverse surface of the body, and a first flexible gasket disposed within the first channel. The guard also includes a handle disposed on the obverse surface of the body. A holder may be included that clips to the handle of the guard to position the guard for hands-free operation.

A method and polishing device for polishing a vehicle tire. An polishing agent application means is moved in relation to a tire of a stationary vehicle and polishing agent is applied on the side of the vehicle tire as the application means moves in relation to the tire of the stationary vehicle.

A kit containing four round, convex, flexible protective covers to shield tire rims from harsh solvents and chemicals used when cleaning and polishing tires, and four drop cloths is provided. Each cover comprises on its outer edge an extended lip and loops for use in easily handling the cover when applying the cover and removing it from the tire rim.

The present invention provides a universal wheel spraying protection device, which is composed of a chassis, springs, a cone shaft, a tray, sliding blocks and composite tensioning sleeves. When the universal wheel spraying protection device is in use, a wheel is placed on a conical surface of an upper end of the tray, supporting springs are compressed by self weight of the wheel, and the tray is pressed down under the action of guiding columns and guiding sleeves; meanwhile, each sliding block drives the corresponding composite tensioning sleeve to move outwards under the action of the cone shaft; after a central hole is tensioned, the sliding blocks stops radial movement, and the tray also stops axial movement; and at this time, the central hole is protected by the composite tensioning sleeves, and a flange face is protected by the conical surface of the tray.

A shield for a rim of a vehicle wheel for covering a rim during treatment of a tire mounted on the rim includes a panel that is circularly shaped and rigid. The panel is dimensioned such that the panel is configured to abut to a rim of a vehicle wheel to substantially cover the rim while leaving a tire attached to the rim exposed for treatment. A brace is pivotally coupled to the panel proximate to a center of the panel. The brace is configured to extend between the panel and a surface upon which the vehicle wheel rests, retaining the panel in abutment to the rim of the vehicle wheel. The improvement is the brace positioned on the panel, allowing the panel to be retained in abutment to the rim without further action by a user.
