I had the same problem, and came up with a solution, hat didn't involve dismemberment of the cat, as it is ours, and the wife and kids quit like it.

I parked the car near some conifers we have and ran a hose into the trees aimed at the car. I purchased a timer from eBay and set it to come on at regular interval for a short squirt. The cat doesn't come near the car for a couple of months and when it does I put the timer on. I figure the occasional blast of water is better for the car than the cat.
Something like this, but you need one that you can set to come on for a short period. I managed to set mine to spray for about 10secs every couple of hours

Works a treat and pretty cheap

Baby socks on their paws, and do it like the mitts model with elastic over the back, maybe all 4 together
