Covercraft® releases new Fleeced Satin Indoor Cover Fabric for the 2013 SEMA Show

October, 2013
Pauls Valley, OK

Fleeced Satin features a woven polyester outer shell with a super soft white nylon fleece finish inside to 

provide a gentle touch to fine car finishes. Fleeced Satin fabric has a slight stretch for a more contoured 

fit (but not the body-hugging stretch of our Form-Fit® covers). The result is a very nice mid-weight custom 

cover! 

4.7 osy vs. 7.4 osy for Form-Fit (that’s ounces per square yard). An excellent value for indoor use

(and limited outdoor use - like at a weekend car show), Fleeced Satin is offered in three colors; black, gray and red. 

The new Fleeced Satin fabric is a Covercraft Exclusive and will debut at the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas in Covercraft's booth #23343 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Autoweek On The Spot - 2011 SEMA Show

For us, one of the highlights of the SEMA show was having Autoweek in the booth to film. Autoweek is respected worldwide as a leader in automotive infomation and coverage, so it was no surprise that they produced this fantastic video:

Autoweek maintains a fabulous channel on YouTube, so be sure to look there for the latest automotive news and information. Here are a few of their other productions from the 2011 SEMA Show. Enjoy.

2011 SEMA Show Recap - Outside the Covercraft Booth

It goes without saying that there is action all over the SEMA Show. We don't get to look around much during the week, but when we do...


We have to show off some of our products that were seen away from our booth. Our friends at Nitto Tire were having a unique promotion in their booth and we were lucky enough to be involved in the "mystery" of the promotion.

Here's a video that PowerTV produced at the show.

"The Lucky Girl" was being shown off in the Cragar Wheels booth. This beautiful blue Dodge Challenger sported one of our multi-color, WeatherShield HP covers for a few photos. The car was also fitted with a custom DashMat and Pocket Pods.

Our friends at Full House Motorsports were proudly displaying "The Gambler". This 1954 Pontiac Chieftain is a one-of-a-kind ride with a special purpose; it will be given away in a raffle! Here's the really cool part...proceeds from the giveaway will be donated to Operation Homefront.

We barely scratched the surface with all that was going on around the 2011 SEMA Show so stay tuned for more....

2011 SEMA Show Recap - Inside the Covercraft Booth

Well, it has taken us a while to get back in the swing of things since the 2011 SEMA Show ended, but now we're ready to review a little of what we experienced this year in Las Vegas.
The show was as big as ever and the traffic appeared to be up from previous years. We enjoyed seeing so many old friends and meeting new ones.
We've had our booth in Central Hall for many years now but this year we moved up towards the Ford end of the hall. The location was awesome!
Great traffic all around us and our Exhibitor neighbors were first class.
Upon opening of the show, we took the opportunity to announce our Sponsorship of Motorz TV. Chris Duke and his crew made an appearance in the booth, shook hands, visited briefly and then shot video for the upcoming Motorz SEMA episode. We enjoyed catching up with them, showing off our signage announcing the deal, and then telling them about the products we had on display.







Our booth location wasn't the only change we had this year, we also changed our booth configuration. We brought in a couple of vehicles to show off our products and the response was extremely positive.


Our Jeep was outfitted with a custom LeBra brand mask, custom SeatSaver seat protectors in the front  and rear, a custom DashMat, Premium Floormats, Pocket Pods and a Spare Tire Cover. We also had a beautiful Mustang GT that showcased a Colgan Custom bra and mirror covers made from the Carbon Fiber vinyl fabric. A custom DashMat, UVS100 sunshield, and SeatGloves were in the front, while a custom Canine Cover was installed in the back seat. A custom Pocket Pod was installed in the trunk, and of course, a custom Form-Fit Cover that included the iconic Mustang logo that is available through our Ford Official Licensed
Product program. 

Both vehicles also included the Roadie by Ruff Rider; a canine vehicle restraint. The Roadie is designed to be the best canine vehicle restraint system, not just a dog harness. Everybody loves dogs, and our model dogs were frequently the subject of attendees' photographs!

We took the opportunity to have some media in the booth for product information interviews as well. Here are a couple of videos from our friends over at PowerTV.

2011 SEMA Show Teaser Part 4 - The Cars

The SEMA Show is about cars. Period. Nowhere else will you get to see and hear the fastest, loudest, most expensive, most obnoxious and obscure cars in the world. It is a car lover's dream to walk the halls and experience these vehicles. And if the show floor is not enough, well then there are usually several hundred other vehicles outside the convention center that are equally, if not more, impressive than those inside. So, here are a few videos we've come across that highlight the real reason everyone is at the SEMA show. Cars.

2011 SEMA Show Teaser Part 3 - Show Coverage
