What kind of snow brush?
Just wanted to know if anyone uses a particular type of snow brush..
I want to avoid putting scratches or marks on the finish. All of the brushes I looked at and used in the past, seemed to have some pretty stiff nylon type bristles. I was afraid they would mark the paint (I have a 2K2 black Max) Not sure if that type of brush marked the finish on my other cars, they were old and I didn't care that much about the finish.
I did get a 'bench brush' from the tool section of my local Fleet Farm. It seemed pretty soft with 'split ends' on the bristles. I'm thinking it would be less abrasive.
What have you guys used..and how does it affect the finish?

Check Chariots Garage (sp?) for a nice horse hair brush. There online store has tons of goodies. I got one from a local speed shop. Paid about 30 bucks for it. It's soft as can be and the head rotates so you can push with it too. Great brush and it's never made any marks on my paint.

I wouldn't worry about it. Get the 99 cent brush at a gas station. The brushes are stiff, but the nylon is real smooth so it never seems to scratch it. Cars around (buffalo) don't seem any worse because of snow brushes
ps-I need to buy one....i've been using my sleeve for the past two weeks.

Would you consider brushing the snow off with your hands instead?
Thank god for my winter beater!
Oh, this reminds me ... my friend got a Maaco paint job, brushed snow off with a brush and later, found his car covered with fine scratches everywhere. It looked terrible! (Uh ohh, better NOT get Maaco).
