Anti-hail car covers?

I'll be moving to Texas soon, and have lived there before...so I'm familiar with the hail storms.

Are there any car covers out there that would provide adequite protection from hail?

Thanks!

I was stationed at Fort Hood for 4 years, then helped open Gotham in Fort Worth. Way too much time in Texas, and the hail storms definitely can do a number on an FD.....

I came across that hailsafe website on a google search earliar. Looks like that might be my best bet...only downside is that I'd have to order from Australia.

As for the bubble....yeah...little pricy. Also would have to have it shipped over seas. The price might be worth it seeing neighbors reactions to a car sitting in a bubble though..hmmm....
