sooooo its about that time of year...

[Cwazy]

so with snow flakes in the forecast for tomorrow evening

im stuck looking at my snow brush from my old car and thinking... man oh man that thing is going to scratch the heck out of my shiny black Impreza

... so on this note... there has got to be brushes out there that clean snow with out the hard bristles and is paint job friendly... any one have any ideas where I can find such a thing? recommendations? prices? any info at all??? for the first time in my life, I have a car I dont want to scratch all up lol

some have a squeegee as well. You can find it at wal-mart, extends and has ice scraper. Use the squeegee side.

checked out wally world... not much that seem to fit the bill...

but will definitely look again...

 

[drvsdwz]

hmmm....I'm pretty sure that's where I got mine. it's a yellow telescopic pole, with a scraper/chipper on one side and brush/squeegee on the other. squeegee side works really well too. maybe it was at VIP where I bought it? wasn't more than $20

 

[Jamey]

Snow broom best thing I ever got but you'll have get a scraper too for it don't have one

 

[CoupedUpSubie]

Really the only way to keep from getting scratches is to leave a thin layer of snow and just let it melt while your car warms up. We have a snow broom as well.

I have the same thing Justin. Works just fine for me

 

[jaKe]

I say use an arm or bare hand. Or warm up car till it all falls off (water).

Lolz. Kinda kidding but that's what I do.

 

[Ray]

maybe use one of the brushes that you would use to wash your car in the summer? The bristles are not too stiff.

im happy to inform you guys that this year I will be attending the sopo parking lot snowy time charades because I am no longer stuck in Boston

weeeeeeeee

looking forward to having some fun and learning a lot

 

[Matt]

Lol. Southern Maine drift team syndicate!!!! We don't really learn much, just playing in the snow trying not to crash. Our escapades are simply fun in the snow and not trying to be all technical and what not. Well see you out there first sign of snow

 

[Cwazy]

I have had brushes scratch the paint... yes indeed... thanks all for the help... will be stopping by some automotive supply stores today to see what I can find! weather man says tomorrow night... 2-4 inches where im at! YAY!!!!

 

[Ceedubya06]

we sell these things at Quirks in bangor called snow brooms... its just a telescoping rod with a big square foam thing on it... works pretty good (we use it on all of our mercedes lot cars) and doesn't scratch unless you get dirty snow on it then it might... they're about $20 bucks but if you come into the Mercedes dealer and ask for chris I'll get you one for like $15

Hey I have one of those, and guess what? With OBP Subaru Paint it scratches the surface up. I recommend using your arm and just push it off. If its frozen on then you better let it melt or dump some warm water on it. Otherwise stock Obsidian Black Pearl Acryllic Paint will scratch up. I only use that snowbrush on my old POS Grand Am because I can hide the scratches on a green car with some wax & polish. Not that I have cared a whole lot since a relative rode down the GA's side with a snowblower.
