What is the best way to clear a car without adding scratches or swirl marks to my black s2k?

Thanks!!!!!!!!

 

let the engine warm up, melting the snow!!! only clear the headlights, windows, tailights! if you truley wanta avoid scratches

 

thanks... anyone else?

 

I don't see how you can avoid it; I mean you have to clear the snow/ice. Avoid contact between your snow brush and the car surface. I'd think that lots and lots of wax/polish can't hurt.

Poke around in the wash/wax forum and see if anyone has more suggestions.

 

I have a 96 Accord. About 6 inches of snow had built up on the hood, the car was sitting outside. The sun was out turning the snow to a slushy ice & then frooze into a sheet of ice. I never cleared it & the next day when the sun came out it must have warmed & slid down the hood leave large & deep scratches. My advice is to keep it clear.

 

Heat the snow up somehow and melt it off. I don't know how to go about doing this or if it will work, but it doesn't snow here so i don't really have experience with it. Maybe spraying warm water on it somehow?

 

Get a cover. Then you'll have no worries.

 

do what he suggested and take it to a car wash. DIY car wash, where u can just run some water and clear all snow/debris etc.

 

A) Get a cover
B) Clear the bulk of the snow with a "Car Broom" and leave the layer of snow that is on the paint to be clear by your hand. No, really.

 

A black car with snow on it! YIKES! I don't know how cold it gets where you are but around here, it would be unavoidable. You would almost have to brush it all off because: 1) It will not get warm enough to melt all of the snow off (the hood) in a reasonable amount of time. 2) If you leave any snow on the hood and you get up to speed with the windshield slightly warmed up from the defroster, the wind will blow the snow from your hood onto your windshield. This will almost always fog up the windshield instantly and you'll be blind.
For the sake of safety, you "should" brush as much snow off as possible and in the spring, be prepared to take a scratch and swirl remover with buffer and go to work.
A car cover is a good idea but can you guaranty you won't get snowed on while you drive to your destination? And if that happens, do you want to put that cover on "over" the snow?
I have a Silver car and if you look carefully, you'll see lots of tiny scratches and swirls. Since it's silver, these can't be seen easily so I don't fret over it.
