Question Snow brushes

Anybody have a better idea for getting snow off my vehicle? The snow brush bristles are like the brushes in old car washes and put swirl marks in the finish.

Maybe "swirl" marks isn't the best word. "Brush" marks would be better.

I perfer to use Boar's hair brushes. Nylon brushes will scratch your paint. http://www.autogeek.net/bohabrteha1.html

This one isn't boar hair, but it's a lot cheaper. http://www.autogeek.net/carwashbrush.html

I have this: http://www.amazon.com/SNO-BRUM-WITH-.../dp/B0007LDXLA

I'm only going to use the Sno Brum for the top layer of snow, and leave a little bit for it to melt off or drive off.

You could move south....kidding.

Detailed at a Mercedes dealership, we used a simular "Snowbrum" product on the inventory. Worked faster than a brush and less traumatic to the paint too.

That SnoBrum is fine if your paint is pretty clean. Be careful if you think you have some dirt or bird poop underneath the snow.
