Pool Noodles Protect Garage Walls from Car Doors

The Problem

Car doors slam the wall every time, denting walls and chipping car paint.

The Hack

Cut pool noodle lengthwise, mount at car door height with adhesive or screws.

Why It Works

Polyethylene foam absorbs impact without scratching. $1 at Dollar Tree protects thousands in paint.
