All this talk recently about swirl marks and paint. How do those that

see snow in the winter actually clean the snow off their S4s without doing anything to the paint? It seems like using a brush to clean the snow is not a good idea. I guess the west coast folks don't really have to worry about this.

Any suggestions?

Just take it to a DIY wash place and spray the car down to get salt off

Washing it yourself is teh best...

Make sure to use a low pressure spray, and spray obliquely to the paint surface. Perpendicular spraying simply grinds the salt into the paint, whereas oblique sprayign will lift it off. Do a good rinse then wash with your favorite soap.
