What do you think clear coat is? It is just clear paint and it is applied just like the color coat. And unless you have seen my car after I have removed the snow, how can you say what I'm scratching? I'm using the safest most effective method I've found for getting snow off my car without doing excessive damage to the paint (be it clear or otherwise). You can't have a daily driver in this kind of climate without doing damage to some degree, so that is why you polish the paint in the spring.
@junkyardwillie Yes, and I would have gotten my pockets full of snow and covered my shoes in snow. And I would have frozen my hand. The point of this tool is so you don't have to use your hands. Same thing with your car. You could have done the same thing with your feet, but using your car is much faster and more comfortable. There are a lot of tools you could do without if you are willing to do it the longer and harder way, but that isn't what most people like to do.
Exactly. I live in Salt Lake City and we get what is called "lake effect snow". I'm not sure what that means, but when we get it, the snow comes down fast and is really wet. Then the temperature drops and it will freeze in clumps. Not all snow is light and fluffy skiing snow. When it is wetter snow it can be a real pain to get off the car without a tool like this. The fact it collapses is even better because it doesn't take up hardly any room and anyone can pack it with them. Awesome tool!
You must not have ever seen it dump a foot of snow over night. Powder that accumulates and packs onto your vehicle will often clump.
As for your Sno Brum recomendation, there are two reasons I won't use those anymore.
1. I won't use products from companies tha't can't spell simple words like "snow" and "broom".
2. I've broken every sno brum I've ever purchased. They can't handle the weight of snow that we get around here. They also catch on wipers and wiper jets where this tool does not.
You're not scratching your paint... You're scratching your clear coat.... tsk tsk...

I think you could have just used your hand and gotten the same effect

I have never seen snow in clumps on the roof of a car. Get a Sno Brum.
