What's the Best Snow Brush????

I'm looking for the best snow brush for my wife to use on her new car. By best, I mean what one has really soft bristles that would NEVER scratch her paint. We just picked up her Audi Q5 today with Black Pearl Metallic paint. Its exactly like the carbon flash metallic. When she was ordering it, I told her to go for it, even though it was a $750 option. I said "The 45th anniversary Camaro's have the same paint and it looks awesome." So that's why I asking the members of Camaro5 what snow brush I should get her. In the past in was a $20 one from Canadian Tire . Help??

A leaf blower unless its 6 am.
I haven’t found one that really good, if its soft it won’t move the snow. Also if the snow is mixed with ice, the ice is the problem so I just let it run until it melts enough to just fall off.

The one I use is very similar to this one and it works much better than any brush

A dozen years ago I purchased a Sno-Brum ... it is basically a foam block on a stick ... a telescoping stick even!

Worked pretty well. Then I moved to Nashville where snow is minimal, though when it occurs it creates widespread chaos mainly due to the state law requiring all residents to appear at the local Kroger to buy milk and bread whether they are needed or not.

And a pic of a Sno-Brum similar to the one in my garage that is collecting dust ...

Sno-Brum maybe nice and all, but what about freezing rain. I don't think this will work. As far as buying the best window scraper??? Just go to wal-mart buddy and pick something up.

I took my old snow brush and wrapped the bristles in a microfiber wash mitt. Should be soft enough....
