California Cover. Get the one rated for best impact protection. It won’t stop much but does help based on what I’ve seen it take.
I want my fair share

Whats the cost in electricity to run those things all winter....?? Certainly more these days, but not bad compared to a quality detail, cut & buff or a paint job. I usually just blow the dust off with a leaf blower and wipe it down with a micro-fiber and detail spray. I've found taking on and off indoor car covers causes more paint damage than they prevent in most cases.

I mainly use my covers for more than just keeping dust off of the cars, but I do alot of welding, grinding, fabricating and painting and aerosols in my garage. The covers help keeping any welding or grinding sparks off of the cars.

Anyone try or get a Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories cover lately? I used to get all of my covers from them (BHMA) way back in the late '70's and then they went away ?? Don't know what happened but the California Car Covers came about and started using them. A couple of weeks ago I did a search for BHMA and they are back and the covers look really like I remember them. Probably made by CCC but don't know that for sure? https://beverlyhillsmotoring.com/collections/car-covers BHMA has been gone for decades. Grew up about mile away if that. Would go to their "garage sales".

I have a 40 year old cotton BHMA cover. Still doing its job but showing it's age. I'm going to suspect someone bought the rights to the name or possiblt a desscendant of the owner is trying to revive it https://beverlyhillsmotoring.com/pages/our-story https://sportscardigest.com/andy-co...-hills-motoring-accessories-passes-away/Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories started from a dream and vision over 40 years ago, in 1976.Today we create the highest quality, exclusive accessories, for the world's finest cars with an emphasis on the customer. We were the first with custom made car covers, the most elegant and best custom made floor mats, Porsche Design products, AMG performance enhancements, and the first twenty years ago to build custom Suburbans, Lincoln Navigators with advanced electronics and performance and luxury upgrades that set the stage for the amazing SUV's produced by all of the worlds best brands. The company was sold in 1998, and now is back in the hands of the Cohen family and is once again a family business, with the same vision and mission that we started with 40 years ago; which is to supply the highest quality, exclusive accessories for the new and higher performance and quality cars and trucks that exist today.
