MINI friendly snow brush?

hello again everyone!

our MINI is cruising along since we purchased it in august. we love it and have had no problems, creeping up on 3,000 miles now.

yesterday was the frist time we had to clean snow of the MINI and i hadn't really planned for having to "brush" the car off... i have the usually scraper/brush that i used without care on my '01 volvo s40 but i must admit i didn't want to use this same "coarse" brush on the MINI... so i only used it to get the bulk of the snow off... and let the sun take care of the rest... the MINI didn't have to be driven anywhere at the time..

so what are folks using to take the snow off their MINIs?

thanks,

sbp

I've got a long handled body brush that I use for snow instead of washing
Similar to this, but with a longer handle

Try a boar's hair brush--safe for your paint. Not sure if Detailer's Paradise has one... I know Griot's Garage sells them.

Good question, asked from a person who truly cares about their MINI.

I use one of these...

it's foam, so it doesn't scratch, and has a telescoping handle.

I also put one of these on my MINI if it's going to snow...

I need to get a full cover.
