jmschnur Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 What is the best process tp clear a car coated with Opticoat Plus after a snow storm? Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Joel, I don't know if Chris will answer here (he lives in Tennessee and has limited experience with snow). When I lived in "snow country" I didn't have a coated car and now that my car has OCP+, I live in the South. Any snow we get here is gone in an hour! My best suggestion is a brush designed to remove snow with minimum marring - SnowBrum, Snow Joe, etc, which are foam instead of bristles. There are other brushes with flagged or feather ends that could also be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmschnur Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 SnowBrum it is thanks. With temps far below freezing pressure wash will not be feasible in the short term. Later on I will do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wish there was a better suggestion. Chris is right, if possible remove only the top layer of snow with a Snow Grum and hope the rest melts naturally. I've seen videos of snow/ice sliding off OCP, so maybe that will help.

jmschnur Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 After 24" of snow and some 5' drifts, clearing the car was daunting. I did use the Snow Broom carefully. It seems that the Opticoat Plus coating has done its job. Now the roads are clear and world is starting up again. Now of course the daily commute will deliver some salt to the car. I will do a clean with Optimum non rinse product once it warms up a bit.. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the feedback on Snow Brum...it's not the "optimum" way to clear your car but may be your only option. Spring is coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Bin clearing snow of my cars for years lived in the Ontario snow belt for most of my life and made some mistakes scratched car Now I use the foam tool to get top layer off. I notice that once the car is warm the ice just slides off car is coated with gloss coat and wax still beading in February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
