A removable protective guard device for use with an automotive vehicle having a metal wall, such as a side wall. The protective device is comprised of a first plate and second and third plates extending from opposite edges of the first plate in a somewhat U-shaped configuration. The first, second and third plates are preferably formed of a plastic material and are integral with each other. Extending from the opposite edges of the second and third plates are angularly located attaching elements which are capable of conforming to the shape of the side wall of the vehicle. Moreover, the attaching elements are provided with a magnetic means in the form of a magnetic material incorporated into the attaching means so as to be removably attachable to the side walls of the automotive vehicle. When attached to the vehicle, these protective devices protect the side wall of the vehicle from damage by a foreign object which might impact with the metal wall of the vehicle. The protective guard device is constructed so that it is capable of being attached to surfaces of differing automotive vehicles having varying surface configurations. Further, the guard device is capable of protecting the surface to which it is attached from impact by doors or other foreign objects, such as doors of other vehicles when the door of such other vehicle could impact from a number of different positions depending on the position of such other vehicle.
