An envelope of felt (or other fabric resistant to snow adhesion) into which a regular eighteen--twenty-two inch size snow shovel may be inserted, folded over to enclose the shovel and temporarily clasped in place by snaps or Velcro--and reinforceable in the area where the shovel blade would rest so as to afford optimal protection against marring the finish of a car or sport utility vehicle when the shovel handle is grasped in pushing snow from off the vehicle.
