Most consumers have a snow brush with bristles. The problem with this is that the bristles are pretty stiff and acts as sandpaper to your paint. The solution? Snow broom. You can find a snow broom on Amazon for between $20-$30 and it’s made of foam. No more stiff bristles acting as sandpaper. The next problem? Dirt on your paint. Most people look at me crazy when I say that before it’s going to snow, I make sure I wash my truck beforehand. Why? Because if I don’t, all the dirt and salt (to prevent freezing) on the paint is going to be moved around when you push the snow off your car, causing micro scratches, especially if it’s heavy snow. Washing it beforehand will greatly reduce the chance of scratching.
I always tell my customers to make an appointment around late November/early December to get a wax, sealant or graphene coating to protect their vehicle from the winter weather. By taking these preventative measures, it protects your vehicle in a sense of not allowing the dirt and salt to stick to the paint. Because of this, when you start your car prior to entering, the snow will simply melt off and slide off your hood, roof, trunk, and doors with little to no effort.
