Snow brush that doesn't scratch the clear coat?

[RMinNJ]

I'm finding the tornado red and/or clear coat shows scratches just by looking at it.. For the winter can anyone recommend a soft snow brush that won't scratch
the paint? I have several but they all seem rough.

I would use something like this:

Every dealership uses some variant of this foam device, and while nothing that touches your paint can ever be guaranteed to be scratch-free, this is a close as you're going to get without keeping a leaf blower in your car all winter.

snowblower, or hot water

Thanks... I ordered some small True Temper Scratch Free ones off amazon.. Will see.

I'd just like to add something. ANYTHING you touch across your coat/paint will scratch it (though at different degrees of severity). There is no brush that won't scratch it. It's all about minimizing it. Like rice said, snowblower and hot water are the only things that literally wouldn't scratch.

i have a soft brislte for my car and i always bring it inside ( home or work) because i find the soft bristle can freeze when wet.

I have a soft bristle that I keep in my car. At home I use a electric leaf blower.

I use a SnowBrum on my cars that are parked out doors. Ive not noticed any scratch on mine. Been using it for over 20yrs.

I would not use it on my hobby cars, however. Those are hibernated.

Husqvarna 150BT is what I use, for those light dustings lol

Well glad I'm not alone for using hot water or even the leaf blower, at times.

But I swear my neighbors (and possibly yours?) have to think I'm crazy for some of the shit I do.

The snow itself scratches clear coat does it not? Snow has dirt in it also. Blower sounds best and warm it up.

I use the blower after I wash the car. Had to break it down to a neighbor it’s the same thing they do at the automatic car wash, just better. Finish off the car with one microfiber towel FTW

How is hot water possibly good for this? Hot melts cold? Then freezes in doors, speeds up glass cracks?

I put a cover over the windshield, then snow brum the bulk of the snow off the roof and hood.

Yeah, you should never use hot water. Beyond getting into places and freezing, it can also quickly expand and shrink sheet metal that will weaken your clear coat.

Yeah I do the exact same thing when done washing the car
