They permanently damage the paint on the vehicle no matter how "temporary."
Toyota Corolla, Larsen magnetic mount since 2007 (I replaced the magnetic mount once I think but am not sure). 400,000 miles and no damage to the paint. When I take it off to wash the car and want to put it back on, I cannot tell where it was. I would not try similar with one where metal on the mount could contact the paint.
