Too bad most door dings happen in parking lots where the all the mounting hardware you provide for hanging your product from the ceiling is not feasible. I tend to be very careful while moving in my garage around my 190,000 mile $4,000 Chevy truck. if i had a $92,000 Saleen looking car in my garage I would have a nice garage where i could open my doors all the way and have room to move still. and if i am to be swinging large objects in said garage...said car would be in my driveway.
Door dings mostly happen in parking lots by strangers who don't give a damn about your car. If your own wife is dining your car in your own garage, get a new wife.
I dont see why everyone is giving this guy such a hard time, if u have a garage like mine there are support poles in my garage on both sides of where you park and it would be easy to have a door slip and bounce into one of them, if the product dosent apply to your life then fine but dont be an ass about it . . .
so if i were to put these all over my car, no matter how fast an incoming car comes and crashes into me. I won't have a single ding? damn! these need to be on EVERY CAR
Can we please stop riding this guy? The invention hangs from the ceiling in your garage so when someone opens their door and hits your car, it won't hurt it. He made an invention and is obviously making money off of it. I don't see any of you doing that...
wow, this is actually real. personally, i found it as a joke at first. however, it actually makes quite a bit of sense. i wouldn't buy one, because i park outside, but yeah. pretty clever.
What is wrong with these people and their negativity. Anyone that posts these comments are surely between the ages of 12 and 16....and if they're older...well....let's just hop they're not. Viperjock - excellent product and congratulations on your success.
Thanks dursk. Billy Mays agreed to look at DoorPal, in fact the sample which was sent UPS to his office in Florida was delivered days before he passed away.
If it's junk why are they selling so well. Many of my customers are doctors, lawyers and CEOs of major companies. Surely these well educated car aficionado know a good product when they see one.
DoorPal is in plenty of homes protecting Ferrari's, Porches, BMW and more. This idiot is proud to say DoorPal is a quality product that serves a purpose. I love my invention and so do others. Customers vote everyday when they order.
Try hitting the car with the shovel where the DoorPal is in direct contact with the vehicle... not where the indentation for the scoop is... this way the force isnt spread over the rest of the contact surface. Then maybe I wouldnt think it was another useless item.
I would never do anything to harm a car on purpose. I am so sure DoorPal works I am 100% secure hitting my own car any day anytime anywhere as long as DoorPal is there.
im sorry but im callin bs.. 1 because wen he was swingin at the pad the pad wasnt even aginst the car.. it was at least 6inches away.. 2 because that the simple fact of inerta.. i mean the shock delivered to that plastic while its against the car will definitly ding or dent the car
I beg to differ. How can this be stupid if thousands of DoorPals have been sold?

Disappointing from someone with the name Nissan240SX. I had a '72 240z it was one of the best cars I have owned. DoorPal is everything but a raft. A raft would never sand up to this type of daily punishment, in a hot or cold garage where a regular raft would crack. I have tried every adhesive out there from Velcro to Gorrilla glue. None will give you the safety release feature or the durability of DoorPal.. DoorPal seems simple, but the zero return rate tells me it is made tough not like a raft
What do you think we are fools the panel isnt even touching the car door it's clearly 1 foot away from the door and you can see the impact on the plastc panel Fail
i like the 290hp nsx. 92,000 dollar hmh i spent 15,000 on my h22 prelude and would LOVVVVVVE to race you :) 649bhp, 281Ft/Tq. lol old farts with slow cars ;)
You win with 629bhp no question. Yes 15,000 is a much better deal, but regardless it's all about enjoying the ride. You like yours I like mine, we both win.
I have sold thousands do if chasing the great American dream and making a product that actually serves a purpose and works makes me a prick, then I am proud to be a prick.
that is not an aluminum door. aluminum is too expensive to use all over the car. probably some sort of composite plastic door . which is more dent resistant.
Ok.....you take a pool toy raft, figure out how to hang it from the ceiling, park the car or in your case a truck, next to it and swing at it with a shovel. Please be sure to video tape this, so we can see your shovel go right through the raft and into your mommy's truck.
When i enter the national guard and get my mustang i will be sure to order a pair. and maybe could you think about creating car covers that are cat proof...
An inflatable raft isn't practical or safe. Most rafts are 12" thick, to keep a person afloat & dry. Car garages are small to begin with, put an inflatable waterbed between two cars and on each wall & you just made your garage 3ft. smaller. DoorPal's profile is only 4.5", it won't get in your way or take up much room. Inflatable rafts don't have resistance channels to absorb shock. I don't recommend trying the shovel trick with an inflatable raft, it will cause damage to car doors.
One more challenge with a raft; there is nowhere to attach ropes in order to hang it between cars. Duct tape, Velcro, super glue, resin and hot glue won't work. DoorPal has welded reinforced attachment points. DoorPal also has a safety release so it won't pull out from the ceiling and cause damage to you or your car(s).
the flat part of the shovl ye... but what about the edge of it... same force but with less surface area of the shovel would equate to more force on protecting panel right? and therefor would reach the car door panel... I would like to see him try the edge of the shovel and see if the product really works...
Hit that car and lets see how it holds up... obviously it will fail, otherwise he would have hit the actual door. That test was on something 3x bigger than the surface of the door. So far this ad fails. I would not buy it. Better to fix a ding for $20 than buy something that will still dent for hundreds more.. dont forget about the other few hundred to install it all!! Another waste of money for your car... then when it breaks have fun replacing it! Hit the DOOR and I might believe this works!
should test it out proper and go park in shopping centre, like UK Tesco's or Sainsbury's and see how long it protects against other idiots and kids swinging car doors wide open onto the car next to it. at least we know if we had somebody who wanted to swing a shovel at our cars it's well protected...
How much? i could really use 1 cuz at my garage, evry time i have to use the lift in my bay, i have to close the garage door...well sometimes i kinda forget to close the door...this would help a bunch...
Gotta agree, this is still a honda no matter how you look at it. However no doubt Acura would quote a hefty sum to replace a door (that way they can look like they sell better cars than they do) Nice product though! Seems like a good idea...
Yes it will work with the side of the shovel. See the Part 2 video, DoorPal stops the abuse of a shovel even with a direct hit from the blade side.
It will not stop a vehicle from driving into another vehicle, but that is not the stated or intended purpose of DoorPal. It prevents dings, dents and scratched from swinging doors, not from car collisions.
Let's see you protect that door from a wrecking ball going at full swing!
Just kidding, this is actually a pretty innovative product with a lot of uses. Just think, when you go camping you could take it down and go rafting...
Maybe something could be made similar to the DoorPal that would provide protection to the front or rear of a vehicle when pulling into a garage.
Check out the other video "Destroying a $92,000 Exotic Car with a Shovel Pt.2 the Blade." You will see direct strikes with the blade of the shovel, DoorPal still protects.
See the other video "Destroying a $92,000 Exotic Car with a Shovel Pt.2 the Blade." DoorPal is demonstrated with direct hits from the blade of the shovel,the product still stands up to the abuse.
Thanks terrigtx. There is one guy who trusts his 2005 Viper and an ORIGINAL 1966 Shelby Hertz car to DoorPal. You can see the cars at the doorpal dot com website under the testimonial section. The Mustang is worth over $225,000 and he has no worries with door dings.

I don't recommend trying the shovel trick with an inflatable raft, it will cause damage to car doors.
In addition a raft won't withstand the extremes of winter and summer and the daily abuse of car doors slamming into it. A raft will crack, burst or fall apart. DoorPal was engineered to withstand abuse everyday with 16 gauge thick walls & a custom iBeam construction for strength. See doorpal dot com for more.
One more challenge with a raft; there is nowhere to attach ropes in order to hang it between cars. Duct tape, Velcro, super glue, resin and hot glue won't work. DoorPal has welded reinforced attachment points. DoorPal also has a safety release so it won't pull out from the ceiling and cause damage to you or your car(s).
I saw that when you were swinging the shovel, you were hitting the Doorpal with the flat side of the shovel. What would happen if you hit the device with the shovel's edge? I wonder if you could put up a video with you hitting the Doorpal as I stated above?
I love it .... even if I sold these I wouldnt swing a shovel at my car like that to demonstrate the product... well done dude.

An inflatable raft isn't practical or safe. Most rafts are 12" thick, to keep a person afloat & dry. Car garages are small to begin with, put an inflatable waterbed between two cars and on each wall & you just made your garage 3ft. smaller. DoorPal's profile is only 4.5", it won't get in your way or take up much room. Inflatable rafts don't have resistance channels to absorb shock. I don't recommend trying the shovel trick with an inflatable raft, it will cause damage to car doors.

Let's see you protect that door from a wrecking ball going at full swing!
Just kidding, this is actually a pretty innovative product with a lot of uses. Just think, when you go camping you could take it down and go rafting...
Maybe something could be made similar to the DoorPal that would provide protection to the front or rear of a vehicle when pulling into a garage.

Facts are friendly.
Check out the other video "Destroying a $92,000 Exotic Car with a Shovel Pt.2 the Blade." You will see direct strikes with the blade of the shovel, DoorPal still protects.

See the other video "Destroying a $92,000 Exotic Car with a Shovel Pt.2 the Blade." DoorPal is demonstrated with direct hits from the blade of the shovel,the product still stands up to the abuse.

This should be made into something that covers the entire car. I think there's a huge market for that!

Thanks for the feedback!
DoorPal is 100" long which is enough to provide coverage for all four doors on a large SUV like a Hummer H2, Expedition or Suburban.

Thanks terrigtx. There is one guy who trusts his 2005 Viper and an ORIGINAL 1966 Shelby Hertz car to DoorPal. You can see the cars at the doorpal dot com website under the testimonial section. The Mustang is worth over $225,000 and he has no worries with door dings.

That is awesome! You can just swing your car door and get our worry free. Great idea.

An inflatable raft isn't practical or safe. Most rafts are 12" thick, to keep a person afloat & dry. Car garages are small to begin with, put an inflatable waterbed between two cars and on each wall & you just made your garage 3ft. smaller. DoorPal's profile is only 4.5", it won't get in your way or take up much room. Inflatable rafts don't have resistance channels to absorb shock. I don't recommend trying the shovel trick with an inflatable raft, it will cause damage to car doors.

In addition a raft won't withstand the extremes of winter and summer and the daily abuse of car doors slamming into it. A raft will crack, burst or fall apart. DoorPal was engineered to withstand abuse everyday with 16 gauge thick walls & a custom iBeam construction for strength. See doorpal dot com for more.

One more challenge with a raft; there is nowhere to attach ropes in order to hang it between cars. Duct tape, Velcro, super glue, resin and hot glue won't work. DoorPal has welded reinforced attachment points. DoorPal also has a safety release so it won't pull out from the ceiling and cause damage to you or your car(s).

I saw that when you were swinging the shovel, you were hitting the Doorpal with the flat side of the shovel. What would happen if you hit the device with the shovel's edge? I wonder if you could put up a video with you hitting the Doorpal as I stated above?

What is so different about this product than using two cheap inflatable rafts sandwiched around a sheet of corrugated aluminum.
