Okay, yes, we in good ol Sunny SoCal are having now "Storm Watches" when it's nothing compared to other parts of the world and the east coast etc

But, I wanted to know: how do you protect your car from hail if you cannot park in a garage?

Fortunately, overnight, I am in a garage, but during the day at work, I don't usually have a covered spot... sooo What can I do?

What do you in parts of the world where hail is more prevalent do?

bubble wrap the crap out of it

You can't. It's mother nature.

lol i've seen hail so many times it's almost a non-event. socal is dieing onoes!!!@#!

seriously though, unless it's quarter sized or larger, it probably won't do much damage at all. precious socal isn't going to see big hail like that. and even if there is damage, paintless dent repair is covered by your insurance due to acts of "god."

are you sure you have big hail? lol i dont think socal knows what big hail is.

just keep it in covered place and if you cant protect it, insurance will fix your car like blake said.

Get a car cover and attach a bunch of foam to one side

you've got to be kidding me. hail here compared to the rest of the world is like a walk in the park.

this. wait til you've seen baseball-sized and larger hail. i've seen that dozens of times. that leaves a dent. piddly pea sized hail isn't going to do any damage...and if you socal guys get it, take pics. i won't believe it until then.

that's a texas hail storm. happens often. if you don't have a carport or garage where i come from, spring time could possibly destroy your car.

the ones in SoCal are like tiny compare to the ones in Texas etc....

i don't think it will do much damage to your car beside some scuffs and swirals....

We see this in Texas and I go the other way.

I can't count how many times I have seen neighbors go out when it is hailing. I just sit and watch, waiting for a big one to doink em'. I think they are from another state or something.

the best is when the sky turns orange or green in color near dusk right before you're about to get mega slammed by a huge thunderstorm that spawns tornadoes everywhere. there was a storm, 2 years ago i think, that blew trees, fences, and chimneys down in my neighborhood, even worse just north of me in carrollton. pretty sure that puppy had a tornado in it. i woke up out of a dead sleep in the middle of the night because it sounded like a freight train was coming through my windows. i ran downstairs into the closet under the stairs because i literally thought my windows were going to pop. that storm dumped some pretty impressive hail. golf ball sized in my back yard. texas storms ftw

What's hail? is that hell with an accent?...
