Systems and methods for applying a disposable wrapping on a vehicle connector

An apparatus comprising:

• a housing comprising an elongated opening configured to receive an external object and enable the external object to slide in a housing interior portion;
• a covering storage configured to store and dispense a flexible covering;
• a first retractable guide disposed in the housing and configured to retractably move from a first closed position to a first open position and then return back to the first closed position when the external object slides in the housing interior portion touching the first retractable guide, wherein:
• the covering storage dispenses the flexible covering that covers an external object exterior surface when the first retractable guide moves from the first closed position to the first open position;
• a cutter configured to cut the flexible covering in proximity to the external object when the first retractable guide returns back to the first closed position;
• and
• a heating element configured to heat the flexible covering on the external object exterior surface to cause the flexible covering to enclose the external object.

A method for covering an external object with a flexible covering, the method comprising:

• inserting the external object into an elongated opening of a housing;
• sliding the external object in a housing interior portion via the elongated opening, wherein:
• the housing comprises a retractable guide configured to retractably move from a closed position to an open position and then return back to the closed position when the external object slides in the housing interior portion touching the retractable guide,
• a covering storage dispenses the flexible covering that covers an external object exterior surface when the retractable guide moves from the closed position to the open position, and
• a heating element heats the flexible covering on the external object exterior surface to cause the flexible covering to enclose the external object;
• and
• removing the external object enclosed with the flexible covering from the housing interior portion via the elongated opening.
