There are silicone squeegee type brushes that many car dealers use, but I'm inclined to think that they would drag any dirt/grit/salt that is there across the paint, creating scratches. Once Canadian tire has all their winter stuff out, take a walk through the snow brush isle and feel the bristles. Some of the more modern designs are already frayed on the ends, and are very soft. I used one of these types last year, and the paint still looks great.
Hmm. I've been worried about the brushes too...how does everyone feel about the Toyota one that (may) have been supplied with the car?



Looks like that. The bristles feel pretty harsh to me.
