• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

For those of you who have ceramic coated your Tellurides, what is the best way to remove piles of snow? Old style snow brushes certainly are not good for that.
 
Letting it melt is the best, but if it's soft snow, use a blower. If you must remove a pile, use a non-scratch snow brush and use it gently.
Snow Joe is popular and can be found on Amazon and Walmart. I use this one and works well.

I have one of these from Canadian Tire.... But I haven't done my ceramic yet. I am MOST interested in whether snow and ice stick to the car less with ceramic, including the windscreen. Would love to hear from people about that.

When I asked the shop, they said that the snow broom is best.

You can use regular snow broom but there is always a risk of scratching the surface. I would not call it the best method. If you cared enough for the clearcoat and put ceramic coating on it, why risk it?

I wouldn't drive down the road with a big snowcake on top of the car. The snow blowing off onto the people behind is bad enough, but when chunks fly, that has the potential for damaging other people's cars. If one avoids rubbing the paint with the broom, then you're good to go.

I hate people driving with pile of snow on the roof. My point above was to use a no-scratch brush rather than regular snow brush to reduce the risk of scratches.
