none of this would work for a gainfully employed person....as you would constantly be late for work....and imagine being that neighbor that uses a leaf blower at 6:00am in the middle of the damn winter
Don't forget to make sure your exhaust pipe is clear of snow and ice before you start the car. Common sense for many, but also many of us don't see this much snow very often.
Where I live, I would have spent more time cleaning the snow off my car using this video's advice than I would have during my post-winter paint fixing within the first 2 weeks of winter. We get snowfall over 4+ months where I'm from. No way you save time overall with these methods.
Keeping your wipers up isn't good idea. Springs are getting stretched, and stretched springs looses strenght. This may cause your wipers won't work properly. Better idea is to put a cardboard under the wipers and put plastic bags on the wipers. Simple, effective and safe. Sorry for poor english ;) Greetings from Poland.
Katerina K Excellent suggestion you ever thought of destroying your life by doing a UA-cam channel? Lol The English is perfect and Super Greetings from Pensacola Florida home of the Blue Angels.
I have never had that problem. Always put my wipers in the upright position in Sweden during winter = every day for 4+ months every year. Actually never heard of anyone with that problem.
Ive been using a snow brush for years, I brush right over my paint and have never gotten any scratches I couldn't just buff out after, too much work for me.
Hey Larry, do you think a waterproof car cover would work good for snow? I live in PA so we do get a lot of snow and I think it would be easier to get it off a cover than the actual paint.
it's not just an extra 10 minutes when it snows like every 2-3 times a week during the winter over the course of 3-4 months. your method is probably more like an extra 15-20 mins. if you gotta be somewhere you can't be dicking around with snowblowers and getting all cute. I don't know man it's a catch 22... I'm pretty sure they make scratch free snow brushes.
GTR Wendy I’m from Los angeles and I’ve never even threw a snow ball, never stood on snow, never even had a snow flake fall on me my whole life. so I’m with you..what is snow⛄️
Don’t you dare touch the paint with microfiber before you drive on the snow covered salt covered roads which will hurt your car far more than wiping snow off normally
Nice video but wish you also showed us how to clean big piles of snow and ice infront of our car. Thats the biggest issues since snow cleaning people always keep piling in front of our car.
My neighbor just did this to her Golf. I cringed so bad and died a little inside. The whole car, the bumpers, everything she scrapes the shit out of it. I scraped very carefully to divide the panels in sections so they slide off by gravity. I didn't do this because I was pussy btw, it's just a car to me, a tool. But I want to avoid scratches as much as I could that can turn into expensive rust afterwards.
In this situation with a ton of snow your are removing in warmer temperatures when the snow is heavy and sticky, the best option is a car cover. As for the rest of us, just use a basic snow brush like this one www.amazon.com/Mallory-532-Integrated-Scraper-Handle/dp/B000BPLNXC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537185525&sr=8-3&keywords=snow+brush. ALWAYS bring the brush inside the house when you leave the car and keep it near the door so you grab it when you leave, you'll understand why. Also, NEVER turn on the wipers with heavy snow or ice on the windshield - make sure they are off before turning the key. And never open a window when there's ice on it (this single biggest mistake costs many people a nice window rail or motor repair). Finally, always be very careful when using the ice scrapper on windshield and windows - rubber and plastic trims around the glasses always get damaged from this.
His technique is pretty much impossible in some cases. Just like today, parked in a parking lot, went to work, came back with lots of snow on the car. I cant just karate chop the snow and lift it, eventually I'll have to swipe it away. You know, since I don't carry a freakin leaf blower in my car.
Greetings Larry!! I live in Buffalo and I know snow, all kinds of snow!! LOL You WILL get a ticket here for not cleaning off your car as well!! Great video as usual. Can't wait for spring!! :-)
what are your thoughts on those various snow car covers like lanmodo awning style vs windshield + side view mirror covers vs full body covers? also thoughts on finding a way of using warm water through a hose for added lubrication?
For snow removal I use the metal brush from the bbq. Come spring, I then buff out the gouges🙂 For removing ice off the windows, I pour boiling hot water on the glass. Works like a charm. Come spring, yup I replace all the cracked glass. My way of thinking is if I replace the glass every spring, I never have to worry about pitting. 🤔 Im so fxking smart! 😋
I love how you bring it all back to the principal of using lubricant and avoiding touching that paint. And, NO, I hadn't seen/heard the stories of ice flying off and being a hazard. Not having lived in a snowy region before, I thought it was untidy-looking, but had no idea it could be dangerous. HOLY CRAP!
oh it is very dangerous, so many ppl will do the bare minimum cleaning and I've had very close encounters with ice chunks and other crap almost hitting me...
If you have a regular car, an ice scraper with a brush on the other end is perfectly fine. I've had my van for carrying my dogs for 11 years now. No scratches can be seen anywhere on the car from clearing the snow. If you have an expensive car, then park it in a garage. If you can't afford a garage, then you can't afford an expensive liability.
The wiper tip is a bad one though. Keeping them up like this will loosen the spring, making them lose effectiveness. And if freezing rain gets the spring all frozen up, you'll have no wiper until it gets back to over 32F. So this very common practice is in fact dangerous. Solution? When the defroster finally gets you windshield hot, they should loosen from ice. Then just raise them and hit them with a stick to break the ice.
Totally agree sir. I ain't dangling my expensive wipers lol. Tbh the ultimate solution is just time. How much time you have to wait for defrost. I didn't even use the wiper de-icer function today. Just idle the car and wait it out.
Just get a snowbrush. Maybe you can find a delicate one that has less of a chance at scuffing your clear coat. If it snows more than 4x a year, you're not going to save time using these methods vs. just using a snowbrush a fixing your paint once post winter. I would have spent more time cleaning the snow off my car than the length of my post winter paint care within the first two weeks of winter using these methods. It may work for some if you RARELY see snow or rarely need to clean snow off your car.
I get what you're saying but this would take me all day to clean the snow off. My first step is to set the vehicles defrosters and heating controls prior to any potential snow/ice storms. Then the following morning, I remote start the vehicle for 20 minutes from inside the house...vehicle shuts off every 10 minutes and only allows me to remote start it twice. This is legal in the State of Colorado and people should check their laws first before doing so. Then after 20 minutes, I use a yard broom that I have rapped up all the metal screws and brackets with duct tape...I'm gonna plasti dip and tape one for next season. I'm able to fully clear off the snow from my Outback in just a matter of minutes and with ease. Granted, the bristles as well as parts of the rapped handle etc does touch the vehicle. This vehicle is my aka snowmobile and is mostly used in the winter, ever run winter tires year round. I wouldn't do to my G63 for example. I've only done this one season and haven't noticed any scratches. Leaf blowers are fun but takes longer and isn't as effective on the snow we see.
This is only useful if you live in an environment with high air pollution or where the temperature drops below -30c. Snow and ice always have a smal layer of water(until -30c) your car being made of metal conducts heat and cold really well even with paint on and forms a tiny layer of water underneath the snow and ice, so use a snow brush designed for snow as the material is softer than paint and wont scratch up your car. The same goes for your windscreen, a plastic scraper isn't hard enough to gauge your windscreen , there are a few made of metal but you should stay away from those at all cost. Given enough force(mass + velocity) even softer materials can damage harder materials, but for this purpose its theoretical impossible. Background: i live in Norway and do detailing work on my spare time(Propper detailing 20-60 hours on one car depending)
What about ICE? Should i just let the truck completely melt on its own? Always worried about big chunks running down the paint after it starts melting.
That carlooks like a beater .My daily driver gets a good coat of protection and when spring comes I give it a good polish claying decon and protection again and it looks pretty good for being ten years old.
Brother said to stop driving my Nissan 350z and get a snow beater car, so I got a Honda. I started to modify it a little bit, when It snowed I did NOT want to drive it in the snow. Typical at guy problems.....
I just moved to snow country and my new suv is covered much like your demo car is. I need to go to town tomorrow so I have to deal with it. I appreciate the pointers like stand on the tire, watch out for zippers n snaps. Is there a good way to cover the windshield and top of the vehicle?
I honestly just stopped giving a shit. I bought my wrx at the end of november and saw many swirls and scratches. Through out this winter i used the ice scraper brush. But my car was in need for a complete detail anyways so im doing it this sprnig/ summer!
Is he serious?! 🤔 Who would have that much time every morning before work to remove the snow that way?! It would take an hour each morning if you live in a country that has a lot of snow during winter months.
Fuck that, I’m going to use my broom. I don’t have time for that. Don’t like snow don’t park outside. Or don’t drive the car you like when it’s winter.
Yeah I can see doing this on a nice car. On the family suv I'm gonna use something soft and touch the car with it. (FWIW, I garage my cars and have a cover for one that can't fit)
omg, you must have problems to go through all this to clean snow of a junky impala lol..... something tells me you go through compounding the car in spring anyways.
I just moved to Connecticut from Puerto Rico. Had to dig my car out of the snow for the first time ever last week. I guess I'll add leaf blower to the list of stuff I have to get...
From Vermont and I am ocd when it comes to my car but I use a foam snow brush and just don’t press down hard to where I am dragging the foam pad across the paint! Problem solved
A bit much if you don't have a clear bra or wrap on your car you will get more damage from driving then you would using a normal snow scraper. And if you even attempt to use a shovel to remove snow you deserve scratches.
Larry, great video as usual. Your advice has been super helpful for me and my family's cars. Do a video on how to wash a car with very little water, ie in South Africa or another place with water constraints. I would love to hear your method for doing this. Cheers.
If you parked outside I doubt you care about slight swirls. Now go watch the healthy way to eat a hamburger, or maybe the technique on how to run when obese.
If you live in a snow area use a tarp or cover for your vehicle outside it saves on cleaning your car before you go to work or somewhere... And you do not have to clean ice or snow off windows if use it...
If you can afford a nice enough car to take really good care of like this, get a garage. If not, get a cover, clean the snow off of it, then take it off. No way to do this every day during winter.
Quick question Larry, I have a problem with the front of my windscreen fogging up. It seems to be a constant build up of moisture on the inside. Is there something I can do to prevent this? Great video as always 👍🏻
What I do is I put plastic over the windows (homedepot cheap ones for painters) in the morning just remove the plastic and snow with it........less then 2 mi done.
Sorry but these techniques are not realistic... and someone who let car outside in winter so that it accumulate so much snow, for sure don't care much about paint scratches.

Leaf blower at 6am before work
Miguel Andres Lopera anduhhh7
I bet the neighbors love that!
I like using flamethrower because it didnot touch the paint
big smoke Then you put the brats on the hood and make lunch. Lol
I just put my car in a paint booth and turn on the oven
Good idea
The best and most safe way to remove snow is waiting till spring 😂💦
The Rock Or build a garage 😂
Very true! lol
I got a laugh out of that so true
So yeah, Boss, I uuhh can't make it to work for the next few.... months. Yyyeeeahhh.....
Lol
next on AMMO how to safely drink coffee inside your car

I'm waiting for the one on "how to avoid jizz stains on your seats, and how to clean them"
Easy, you don`t:)
5 hours of cleaning drivers seat. THEN coffee. Repeat process after coffee to assure no coffee dripped. Shower, shave go to work.
You know what, I’m just gonna scratch the paint a little bit
😂😂😂😂
Step 1: Find the "EXTREME BASS SONG" from UA-cam
Step 2: Set your device and car speakers to full volume.
Step 3: Watch your car shake it off
Lol
Larry the type of guy to wrap his knife and fork with microfiber cloth to avoid scratching his plate
Underrated comment
hahahaha
A Google User. Punctuation needed!
The after-taste of fiber is worth the shine on those plates. 😏Hehe.
You are a legend
In Soviet Russia, snow removs you from car
It's true.
none of this would work for a gainfully employed person....as you would constantly be late for work....and imagine being that neighbor that uses a leaf blower at 6:00am in the middle of the damn winter
Why am i even watching this... i live in Dubai xD

Total time to do this process : 1.5 hour. Im sure that Every car enthousiast have time to do this before going to work...wtf
You've completely missed the point.
Where I live, I would have spent more time cleaning the snow off my car using this video's advice than I would have during my post-winter paint fixing within the first 2 weeks of winter. We get snowfall over 4+ months where I'm from. No way you save time overall with these methods.
He said something along the lines of, "If this drives you nuts, get a tent to keep the car in to avoid removing snow from the vehicle all together".
Then get a garage. It snows where I live between November & April, but it isn't snowing every single day.
A snow garage is nice at home but you rarely have access to an underground parking everywhere else (job, shopping etc).
Keeping your wipers up isn't good idea. Springs are getting stretched, and stretched springs looses strenght. This may cause your wipers won't work properly.

Didnt realize you still had the impala, we havent seen it since your early videos. How about an update on it?
Came here to comment on the Impala too - great to see it again!
If I had a Lamborghini or a really nice car I would store it inside. I would leave the crappy cars outside and not worry about paint
Just put it in the microwave for 1minute.
Omg what kind of microwave you got. I can't fit my car in the microwave plus is also above the stove.
ObesePuppies make sure it does have metal on it 😉
Someone should totally make a snow-melting microwave defrost gun!!
I love this channel and everything you teach, but your wife is right your crazy.😀
Ive been using a snow brush for years, I brush right over my paint and have never gotten any scratches I couldn't just buff out after, too much work for me.
If you don,t want to "damage" your car, don't use it....
I will have eat that snow it looks so good ! During winter I always eat many bowls of snow 🤍🤤
Same 🏔️❄️☄️🍦⚪⬜
Hey Larry, do you think a waterproof car cover would work good for snow? I live in PA so we do get a lot of snow and I think it would be easier to get it off a cover than the actual paint.
how are you going to take the cover off?
As a Canadian, this video made me laugh.
If you dont want to scratch your car. Frame it and stick it to the wall

Man I wish I could say the same! We get a lot of snow here in Indiana and I hate it.
FAB Automotive Detailing you get a lot of snow in Indiana 💀 sure
Honestly who are you and why do you comment on everything
Vorahh depends on the year yes we can get a lot. Sometimes nothing at all. It’s hit or miss sometimes.
Whoa, who uses a SHOVEL on their car? I live in northern Canada and I've never seen that :O
title should be how to spend the most amount of time possible cleaning a car SAFELY.
Don’t you dare touch the paint with microfiber before you drive on the snow covered salt covered roads which will hurt your car far more than wiping snow off normally
No idea how bad the snow storms are there as I live in the tropics but damn that is an insane amount of snow!
Muhammad Wafiy You don't know what real living is until you've had to shovel a sidewalk or use a snow blower. Buy a Fatbike and go ride in upstate NY.
It snowed this year in Houston for the first time since 2009 and everyone was freaking out. It was probably less than an inch
Honestly the first few weeks of snow I do this, but after a while you just want to go to work.
Thanks Larry, I never knew the proper way...I really appreciate the information
Nice video but wish you also showed us how to clean big piles of snow and ice infront of our car. Thats the biggest issues since snow cleaning people always keep piling in front of our car.
My Mum uses a window scraper on her entire car lol nightmare. No amount of words can stop her
My neighbor just did this to her Golf. I cringed so bad and died a little inside. The whole car, the bumpers, everything she scrapes the shit out of it. I scraped very carefully to divide the panels in sections so they slide off by gravity. I didn't do this because I was pussy btw, it's just a car to me, a tool. But I want to avoid scratches as much as I could that can turn into expensive rust afterwards.
Who’s watching this after snow storm here in New York?
in texas looking like i might not be going anywhere lol
In this situation with a ton of snow your are removing in warmer temperatures when the snow is heavy and sticky, the best option is a car cover. As for the rest of us, just use a basic snow brush like this one www.amazon.com/Mallory-532-Integrated-Scraper-Handle/dp/B000BPLNXC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537185525&sr=8-3&keywords=snow+brush. ALWAYS bring the brush inside the house when you leave the car and keep it near the door so you grab it when you leave, you'll understand why. Also, NEVER turn on the wipers with heavy snow or ice on the windshield - make sure they are off before turning the key. And never open a window when there's ice on it (this single biggest mistake costs many people a nice window rail or motor repair). Finally, always be very careful when using the ice scrapper on windshield and windows - rubber and plastic trims around the glasses always get damaged from this.
I'm all for paint protection, but there comes a point where its just too much😂
His technique is pretty much impossible in some cases. Just like today, parked in a parking lot, went to work, came back with lots of snow on the car. I cant just karate chop the snow and lift it, eventually I'll have to swipe it away. You know, since I don't carry a freakin leaf blower in my car.
Greetings Larry!! I live in Buffalo and I know snow, all kinds of snow!! LOL You WILL get a ticket here for not cleaning off your car as well!! Great video as usual. Can't wait for spring!! :-)
I just light a fire inside the car, The heat melts it within 5 minutes
what are your thoughts on those various snow car covers like lanmodo awning style vs windshield + side view mirror covers vs full body covers? also thoughts on finding a way of using warm water through a hose for added lubrication?
No.1 rule, DO NOT use hot water
just did it, i regret it
For snow removal I use the metal brush from the bbq. Come spring, I then buff out the gouges🙂
For removing ice off the windows, I pour boiling hot water on the glass. Works like a charm. Come spring, yup I replace all the cracked glass. My way of thinking is if I replace the glass every spring, I never have to worry about pitting. 🤔
Im so fxking smart! 😋
I love how you bring it all back to the principal of using lubricant and avoiding touching that paint. And, NO, I hadn't seen/heard the stories of ice flying off and being a hazard. Not having lived in a snowy region before, I thought it was untidy-looking, but had no idea it could be dangerous. HOLY CRAP!
oh it is very dangerous, so many ppl will do the bare minimum cleaning and I've had very close encounters with ice chunks and other crap almost hitting me...
My WIFE doesn't wash, compound or wax. I DO. She looks at you Larry, laughs hysterically, points and calls you crazy Larry. "Sigh"
ARPHOTO I could but then I'd have to eat my own cooking, that scares me.
zeroproof smh at your wife 😂!
im laughing too, this is for some paranoid people

It may work for some if you RARELY see snow or rarely need to clean snow off your car.
exactly. You think we brush snow twice? lol. I brushed twice just going Tim Hortons lol
To attach the microfiber towels to the snow broom without cutting them, you can also tie them on using velcro cable straps.
I get what you're saying but this would take me all day to clean the snow off. My first step is to set the vehicles defrosters and heating controls prior to any potential snow/ice storms.

Lol, do that every morning when it's freezing. Don't care about the paint, using a brush.
I just moved to snow country and my new suv is covered much like your demo car is. I need to go to town tomorrow so I have to deal with it. I appreciate the pointers like stand on the tire, watch out for zippers n snaps.

A bit much if you don't have a clear bra or wrap on your car you will get more damage from driving then you would using a normal snow scraper. And if you even attempt to use a shovel to remove snow you deserve scratches.
blew it
snowed today in Michigan and I brushed it off with a broom, but not hard
Does that count?
Glad for the upload though!
Larry, great video as usual. Your advice has been super helpful for me and my family's cars. Do a video on how to wash a car with very little water, ie in South Africa or another place with water constraints. I would love to hear your method for doing this. Cheers.
5:06 this man is DEDICATED to protecting his paint lol that's just ridiculous never seen a car tent before!!!
If you parked outside I doubt you care about slight swirls. Now go watch the healthy way to eat a hamburger, or maybe the technique on how to run when obese.
If you live in a snow area use a tarp or cover for your vehicle outside it saves on cleaning your car before you go to work or somewhere... And you do not have to clean ice or snow off windows if use it...

Are you kidding??? Who has these? Never saw one! My broom works fine and much faster. LOL
I just use a scraper attached to a brush I bought from Fred meyers just brush it off with no problem and I do it every day for 5 months.
Right bc ppl have time to do this before work. I just use the foam pusher. It’s a daily that’s why it’s a daily.
This is ridiculous, imagine using half an hour cleaning snow of your car on a daily basis at 6 in the morning, especially the leafblower lol
If I had a Lamborghini or a really nice car I would store it inside. I would leave the crappy cars outside and not worry about paint
Considering this channel is in NYC. You can't do most of that in that city. Salt on the street, no space to have a leaf blower and all that.
i have vehicles i dont care if paint gets fucked up but if i had ammo money i would have a garage to put my vehicles in or a pole barn!!!
I don't think any of my neighbors or family members will like me using a leaf blower at 6am to remove the snow off my car before leaving
Quick question Larry,
I have a problem with the front of my windscreen fogging up. It seems to be a constant build up of moisture on the inside. Is there something I can do to prevent this?
Great video as always 👍🏻
Longy1986 maybe you have a leakage.. there are cusions that absorb moist..!
Larry do yourself a favor buy Air Pods, and throw away those apple wired headphones. Thank me later
Do you really wanna take this much time outside in -30 degress Celcius in pitch black?
Meeeeh unfortunately no access to a leaf blower I'm in a condo no access to power. I wanted to get the broom wrap in microfiber
You could also wrap some MF towel's around the leaf blower to stop the plastic tube hitting the paint work.
Thank you Larry!!! Love all your videos...products... etc! Hope your not getting completely buried with this 3rd Nor Easter
Am I the only one who just couldn't give a damn about some scratches on the car? Its just an object for gods sake..
I use my arm to take the top layer off and then wait for the snow to melt during the day. By tomorrow it seems to be all good
Like other Canadians commenting: just use a good snow brush. Come visit and get one at Canadian Tire :)
What I do is I put plastic over the windows (homedepot cheap ones for painters) in the morning just remove the plastic and snow with it........less then 2 mi done.
Is it bad to use a car cover and then take it off once it stopped snowing to remove all of the snow at once? Or would it scratch the paint?
Sorry but these techniques are not realistic... and someone who let car outside in winter so that it accumulate so much snow, for sure don't care much about paint scratches.
How do i remove a hard snow on the rooftop of a car that is stuck? Can i use hot boiled water to remove it? I wont harm te paint i supposse?
Nah I just drive to work with thick snow on my car because I’m built different
Wet, slushy British snow probably wouldn't respond to a leaf blower even if the worst of it was lifted off.
I'm usually on board with your OCD methods, but this is just too much. I gotta get to work.
