No need to go through the expense of installing anything. You simply want to know when your car is coming too close to the wall - easy peasy - Affix a tennisball to a chord or string, hang it from the garage ceiling to the height of your windshield. When you pull into the garage, and your windshield touches the tennisball, then you've gone far enough.

Installing poles or blocks might protect the wall, but they don't do well for the front end of the car, should you run into them.
