What kind of Christmas do you guys dream about down there? It has been a really long time since I've had a winter that didn't look like this. A white Christmas isn't such a bad thing though. I just wish I didn't have a total intolerance for cold. lol

You are a cruel individual!
That was a great video haha, entertaining commentary. Do you ever worry about the brush or the snow plow scratching the paint?

Re: Snow Mover Personal Snow Plow
That was one of the reasons for the test. I was concerned that might happen, but it seems to be very safe. There are rubber bristles on the bottom of the brush that keep the paint and everything else safe.
This way if you catch your wiper nozzles or something you don't have to worry about damaging either the car or the brush. I've tried those styrofoam snow broom things before and they are crap. They never last me longer than one winter and then I'm out looking for another alternative. This seems to be the best solution I've found to date. Nice and compact, yet extends to a perfect length to keep the snow off your feet and out of your pockets.
Like any detailing tool, I'm sure if you wanted to hurt the paint then you could, but someone being careful shouldn't have anything to worry about. However, come spring if I find a bunch of marks on my paint because of this, then you can be sure I'll be back here to post about it. I tried using it 'as directed' and it worked out well. It didn't "feel" like it was hurting my paint any, but I'll be taking a close look at the end of winter to make sure. So far I can say it is very effective at getting the snow off the car and that is what I need it for.

Re: Snow Mover Personal Snow Plow
My guess with a tool like this, how safe it is on your paint depends on how clean they paint was before the snow. If the paint had salt and other garbage all over it, pushing the snow over that grit could very easily marr the paint. Whereas if you have been keeping up with your winter washes (ONR or whatever) you would probably be pretty safe.

We dream of a white Christmas down here too. White sandy beaches, just have a heck of a time getting all of the sand out of the carpets...

I live in a city with so much salt that they actually named the town after salt. lol (Salt Lake City) In the decade or so that I've lived here, I can't say that I've ever had salt on my car above the fenders. Typically it just plasters the sides of your car and doesn't go so far as to get on the hood, roof, or trunk. Since those are the areas you would be using this on, I think it is pretty safe.
Case in point, here is what my car typically looks like during a Utah winter.
It is so dirty that I think it is actually crying.
You can see that other than a little bit of road spray on the hood, most of the salt is confined to the sides. With winters like this, I expect to need to polish in the spring anyway, so if this creates a couple marks on the hood that I have to polish out, then fine. It will be no worse than the marks all that salt creates trying to scrub it off.

Re: Snow Mover Personal Snow Plow
I generally stay away from Brushes that have a Scraper on the same end. Invariably what happens is... the Scraper contacts the Paint some-how some-way... and doesn't appear until the first Sunny-Day Car-Wash in the Spring.
I've had lots of success with the big Foam Snow Shovel, so in response to a previous Poster, there must be different qualities in Foam for these as well.
