摘要： The present invention is for a rim cover that protects an automobile wheel from cleaning products designed to clean tires. Additionally, the present invention helps protects brake systems while cleaning tires. In an embodiment, snaps are provided around a circular shaped cover that lows the cover to snap in place to protect the wheel. Another embodiment provides a pair of securing arms that are ratcheted in place and push against the inner circumference of a wheel and thereby securing the cover. A ratchet release mechanism allows for removal. In yet another embodiment, a cover is provided that has a rotatable hook that may be inserted in any opening in a wheel and then pulled tight against the wheel. In still another embodiment of the present invention includes snap hook grippers that are displaced then released against a wheel to secure the cover. In another embodiment of the present invention includes a center push mechanism that allows easy attachment and removal of the cover by simply pushing down or pulling up in the center of the cover. Secure arms are forced outward against the wheel when engaged.
