Winter is Coming! - What do you guys use for a snow brush?

**AutoApollo** · 10-11-2016, 04:22 PM

Hi guys, I know it's a little early, but winter will be here soon. Obviously the nylon bristle snow brushes will most definitely marr the paint on my car. They do sell foam brushes but I'm not sure if that will marr the paint either. What have you guys used in the past to brush off the snow from your car? I want to minimize any potential scratching while removing the snow. Thanks

I never go down to the paint. I only brush off the top part and leave a coating. No need to brush it all off down to paint.

I don't use a brush on anything but the windshield. Then again our winter place has a heated parking garage as does my office, so snow on the car isn't a huge deal.

I clear the glass only and if at night, the headlights as well. Then, I drive to the closest coin car wash and rinse everything off so that I don't have to touch the paint at all. The thing is, you don't want to be in a situation where the snow will actually slide off the paint as that will likely scratch the paint. I don't know if this is a good thing to do but that's what I have been doing in the past to avoid scratching the paint when snow accumulates.

I'm located in Buffalo and when it snows here my truck usually has a layer of ice under all the 12" or so of snow so I just brush the snow right off of the top. I use this...

Or, you could just not clear it...

I have a SnoBrum that I use to clear piled snow, but not quite down to the paint. Then I use a regular snow brush/scraper on the windows.

might sound crazy but i have used my leaf blower to get snow off but i live in kentucky so we usually don't get a whole lot. It works great on wet or dry snow and it pretty fast if you have a decent blower. Tip: Make sure you aren't downhill from the wind it seems to get a lil cold lol
