For the smaller spots where the SnoBrum cannot go, I have a Snow Brush that has Microfiber tipped bristles which are very soft. However, I cannot find them online.

That may be an option for you.

That's exactly what I use - the Sno Brum works great. Plus the scratches you're seeing -- more than likely, unless your finger nail catches on the scratch -- can be taken out by a mild polish and a simple detail job.

With a Camaro as a DD, unfortunately you're going to get minor scratches in the paint between snow, ice, dirt, etc. Invest in a good buffer and do a LOT of reading on the internet about how to use it. Or, you can pay someone in your area to detail it for you.

100 mph+ works well. Welcome from a fellow MA Camaro owner.

When it snows on a Native Texan's head, their IQ drops 20 points. If the snow doesn't melt in 48 hours, the IQ loss can be permanent.

haha, It's clear that free communist education in mother Russia has FAILED to tech me how to spell camaro.

Its not an no excuse, but I like blaming others :-)

Interestingly enough, Chrome's spelling does not see a problem with camero and highlights camaro is wrong spelling. In order to find out why, I have found this one Urban dictionary
"Improper spelling of the word Camaro, often used by people with half a brain and half an engine."

For all you knobs that claim just cleaning off the windows is enough, I wonder how you feel when large pieces of ice and snow fly up off cars and trucks in front of you and land on your car? be courteous and safe and get ALL of the snow off of your car before you drive. You could bust someone's windshield, scrath their paint or cause an accident. Turn your car on for a while before you need to leave. keep it running with the defrosters and the heat cranked. after a while, the snow will simply melt away. If it's too much for that, at least you'll have a thin layer of water between your car and the snow so when you push it off by hand, it'll glide on the surface of the water and not scratch your paint.

^^ This, or if you have access to compressed air, a little air blower.

But then again, I live in ARIZONA.. so what would I know?? Lol.

(Born and raised in upstate NY, and snow is the reason my CAMARO and I will never go back!!)
