Do you clean snow off your car when not in use?

[andy-xr]

I'm about to go out and clear off last night's snow from my cars. I dont like it sitting on them for too long because the kids come and scrape snow off for snowball fights, there's a chance of them scratching it. Also, on the soft top it's not particularly weatherproof, so having a couple of inches of thawing snow sat on the roof join makes me nervous

What about you?

It's a lot easier to get it off when it's freshly fallen as opposed to when baked on as ice after a cold night!

clean it off anyway...much easier than letting it half melt then turn to 2" of ice

I can't stand leaving my car outside, it is always in a garage.

Lovely to see the neighbours scraping ice off their windscreens on a cold morning while their garages are full of junk. I simply walk from the kitchen into the garage, get into my car, hit the remote garage door button and off I go...nice.

I ticked clean it off when i need it, but thats everyday so it doesn't sit covered in snow for long.

It'll go in the garage too if im back before my OH!

Yes, clear it off while still fresh. Didnt bother last year and a partial melt had lined the door and boot rubbers, the following hard frost made getting into a nightmare next morning.

Snow doesn't scratch cars.

Scrapers can.

Needs another poll option - my butler does it for me.

Firstly, there's that.

Secondly, I'm not sure how much weight the roof can take (cabrioghey) so I'd rather spend a few minutes brushing the snow off with a broom (really old, old cabrioghey with dodgy paintwork).

Leaf blower while the snows still fresh.

Chap over the road has done his twice already today with a leaf blower, maybe he got one for Christmas and just wanted to try it out?
