I've got covered parking, but when it hails at an angle or bounces you get damage (this happened to people in Austin from last year's two huge hail storms) Quote:
the first sign of hail. I haven't had any damage with that approach, but your left with soaked blankets. I just put them in the washing machine and dryer. It would be cool to get one of these hail blankets because they custom fit your car (only one blanket needed) and are designed to minimize hail damage. But, there is no word from the company or anybody that owns one on their washing care. If you had to dry clean the thing it would be a pain in the butt and defeat the purpose |

Anybody know about hailblankets.com? Used them? Spring=hail, would
be good to know if this is a good way to protect our cars My question below about washing and cleaning hail blankets still has no answer from the company, would be cool if someone here who's used HailBlankets could let us know Quote:

Well i dodged the bullet today in KS since i had just headed down to Houston for the weekend. However since i have NO options to garage my car or cover it up since i live in the barracks on Ft Riley ive decided to bite the bullet and get the cover, i figure it can only help. Ill post more when i get the cover in.

Got a call yesterday that it was hailing. Rushed to my car and put all the blankets in my house, while getting shot by hails. We had some really big grape size hail in Carrollton.
Woke up this morning and I had some hail damage in the roof and some major dents on trunk.

I am pretty sure that if you just have a decent car cover over while theres a hail storm, that should more than efficient to protect your car. Unless you get hella unlucky and have fist size hails raining at you. Just store your car in a garage...

can you just throw it in the washer, it will get used more than once and will be a soaking mess after a storm) |
