Boars hair looks nice, but it`s pricey and I wonder about the stiffness of the bristles - will it hold up???



I need to get one of these though...Costco has a version of the Snow Broom for like $10 may try that.. :nixweiss

Leaf Blower :).

Without feeling them I say non of the above. I personally never want to touch my car with a brush, but I must admit the boars hair is interesting. I am going to try a microfiber mitt to see if that works fairly well. I like to get off the majority of the snow and leave about a half inch or as close as I can get to the paint to ensure I do not scratch the paint.

That Oxo brush is suprisingly heavy, for whatever that`s worth.

Thats my MO also. That half inch usually slides off and pisses someone off, but oh well. :sosad

Ouch. What about if the car has sand/grit/salt from the road on it, gets more snow on top of that, then you brush off all but 1/2", then the next day it`s cold and the sun melts the snow partially and then it refreezes? Then the next day when that ice slides off with the particles frozen into it becomes a sanding block.

The Boars Hair one looks good too. I Should look into getting one of those, as it has been snowing the last few days here.

You kind of have to think about what really will scratch the paint more. The brush or the snow/ice? I would go with the boar`s hair out of those but pushing snow over the paint with anything will leave marring.

sno brum is good after a real big snow,

removes lots of snow fast,



but i`m going to vote for nothing.

i used a snow brush on my camaro when it used to be parked on the street,

after seeing my paint when i got the pc, never again.



i hate to use anything on my sentra :eek:

I don`t think I`ve ever had the stuff re-freeze on the car. Around here is usually starts with freezing rain then a nice snow topper. You can get the snow off but not the ice, at least not without brute force. Usually by the time I get to work there is nothing left on the car and we`re good to go till the next snow a few weeks later.

i would think no matter how "car surface" safe the item is,

if the car is dirty and crusty from winter, sliding snow off of it is bad news

I voted for the Snow Broom. I have had one for my Black Audi and have found nothing else to be as marr free for removing snow.



Granted the car is a garage queen, but up here you`ll be reaching for something to remove snow off the car at least 2 or 3 times a day almost everyday once winter get`s going. So I wanted something that was the least possible to marr while removing.

2-3 times a day ?

ouch :sadwavey:



i guess i have seen too many mis used brooms while working at dealers

[MorBid]

Yeah it`s that pesky Lake Effect Snow, It`s a type of snow we get from Lake Ontario after the cold Canadian air hit`s it.



I tell you by January I`m so sick of snow it starts to depress me. I`ve never lived anywhere that you can count on it snowing in some form almost every day.



I don`t use my snow broom to take all the snow down, it will leave a nice little layer on there and I roll with that.
