Question Ice Brushes

Just wondering what everyone is using on their car this winter?

I've used an Oskar in the past and found it was the best ice brush I've ever used.

Bill, I have not found one that I like for the FX yet. I want an expandable one with a longer reach and bristles that are not real stiff. I did look at an Oskar but still have not found exactly what I want.
For now I stole the scraper/brush I use on my GMC Z71.

I usually just get something at Crappy.
I like the one I have now for the truck with alum handle.
I need a new one for the car though.

LOL

Ian, that is exactly the same as the one I have for my truck (which I have moved to the FX.) I found it to be pretty good.

Makes me chuckle: all the fuss we put into waxing our cars and keeping them clean in the summer, only to abrade the surface with snow brushes in the winter.

I was thinking the same thing. I just count on doing some paint correction come spring.

Calgarians have the option of waiting for the next "shnook" to melt it off.

Nah, all the shnooks went back to Sask yesterday.

Normally my car's in the garage so I don't have to worry about it, but when I got it, it looked like the previous owner had removed snow from the hood and roof with a backhoe...

my company gave me a 2010 F150... first off you gotta understand I'm about about 5'7" and this truck might as well be a transport truck... I think I need an extend-o-brush so if anyone finds a snow brush that's about 4 feet long let me know lol

but I love my company for giving me the truck my winter beater died lol
