Default Scratch-less snow brush

Hi, does anyone have recommendations for a snow brush that won't scratch your car? Those bristle brushes are not good as they will leave fine hair scratches over time of usage.

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for but a leaf blower works well without even touching the car

Your best option would be investing in a car cover and using the snow brush on that so you dont create any scratches

I have one but only use it on the windshield. To be honest I don't have to use it too often - my gloves are thick enough I can just shove the snow off by hand.

I use the styrofoam. Seems to be fine. However,I don't see any scratches anywhere on the Caviar finish in general.
I do get stains, even though I wipe off any suspect debris immediately.
I guess it would be hard to tell if the styrofoam causes problems until spring :-).
But if you see scratches it might be hard to attribute them to the brush at that point.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting this then wrap a microfiber cloth around it. Thanks
