Would this be the best snow brush that I could buy that will not damage the paint???

IMO, ANY snowbrush will damage paint. So *I* only use mine on the glass. Since there's always a chance that I'll hit the paint (or window trim) anyhow, I use ones with boar's hair bristles from STATMOSPHERE

I'm thinking the same way but I just don't like leaving the snow & ice on my car and it simply glides off while I'm driving. IMO that's doing damage too.

Move to Florida? J/K

You know I tried that, unfortunately I didn't get the job.

You wont scratch your car as long as you leave a thin layer of snow on the paint. Imo, the scratches come from removing all the snow and the bristles touching the paint.

I always start my truck and do the windows while it's warming up. Once the truck is warm then I do the hood. This way the snow has started to melt and everything just easily pushes off with the brush without touching the paint. The roof I just knock down a little and the rest blows off.

Hondaguy2582- Good suggestion. Yeah, that's what I try to do when I leave the Volvo outside in the winter (forgot all about it as the Volvo's been garaged this year). I even use the Sno Broom (sp?) to do it. Not always so easy to do, though.



BlueDragonZ- You're right about the sliding snow (or actually the contaminants in the snow or between it and your paint) causing damage too. Maybe removing the bulk of the snow as HondaGuy2582 suggested will lessen the weight of the sliding stuff enough that it won't mar as badly. This might be one of those no-win situations, to some extent. Whether it slides while it melts and you drive, or when you push it off, it's still moving across your paint. I guess I like the melted version better.

Yeah, it's certainly is a no win situation. Thanks for everyone's advice. I think I'll try one of these brushes first to see if it will be good enough.
