Hello all..
For those who experience snow in your areas (we just had our first of the year @ 5").. How do you clean the snow form your Lexus? In the summer I wouldn't use anything less that a chamois to wash my Lexus, now I'm using this horrible brush.
Any ideas?

 

Leaf blower?

 

Use a premium car wash brush.

 

I wrap a microfiber cloth around the brush.

 

"I wrap a microfiber cloth around the brush."

Good.. Why didn't I think of that?

 

"Use a premium car wash brush."
I have one in my garage.. I'll try that..

 

move to florida

 

For light snow:


For heavy snow:

 

Excessive, but I used to have unlimited car washes at the place right outside my neighborhood, so I would wash it everyday

 

I was washing it everyday as well but my locks and doors freeze and that's not goo for the mechanisms. I think the Florida move is the best suggestion, but not ready for that yet.
I'll try the flame thrower without the dogs and girlfriend around (excessive heat) may damage her fingernail polish... Yikes!
The winters here suck, it snows, then below zero with wind chills, then the temp shoots back up the snow on the side of the roads begin to melt, runs out in the streets, sprays up on my Lexus, the moron in front of me decides to run his windshield wipers with turbo spray that leaves the windshield and enters mine and then I have to wash it all over again.. Its enough to make a grown man curse like a teenager! Have you ever slipped getting in to your car? When your one leg is in the car and the other slips out from under you and you land wherever?

 

Scrape the windshield and drive on the highway

 

Canadian here: I just use a regular snow brush and have no issues with damaging the paint.
If the paint scratched that easily, then you have bigger problems, especially if its factory paint.

A few days after a snowfall and the roads have more or less dried up, I'll take it to the coin wash and give it a hand wash with a bucket of steamy hot water. If its colder than -10C out though, the water will freeze on the surface of the car before it has time to drip off. Make sure you work each mechanism before it freezes (locks, doors, latches, mirrors, seals, trunk, etc) as soon as your done rinsing.
