Then I pour lukewarm water over the car until every bit of snow is gone.
OMG...

I just shot coffee out my nose.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm not taking snow removal advice from a guy who lives in Boca f'ing Raton.
That's funny on so many levels. But go easy on the good Doctor, he's a good guy!

I use a foxtail with soft bristles which wont scratch the paint. I have been using it for 6 years on 2 S200'0's and no scratches. My wife has one for her 02 Lexus (Dark Red paint) and no scratches. I also use multi layers of Zaino. Dont use the nylon bristle brushes which come with the standard Auto store scrapers as they will scratch.

I should have been more clear -- the operative words there were "used to", referring to my 25 years in the Colorado and New Mexico mountains.

Here in Boca, the big problem is all the damned petals from all the flowering trees. Some stick, some leave little pollen smears, sheesh! HPH
