the right pedal  :cool:
haven't had much snow, just start the car up, put on back heated screen and wiper blades once to get rid of top layer of snow then use an ice scraper to get snow off the remaining windows, then jump in the car with the heaters on full and get the feeling in your body back..

^hmm, yeah thanks Guy :grin: i normally use a soft brush but not sure how much damage it's doing?

with a stiff brush or a shovel you are sure to remove any doubt as to how much damage you're doing  :wink:

I get an extension cable and put an electric blanket over the top of my car for a couple of minutes. Sparks a little but theres no snow on my car anymore. Looks like my paint has been put in a bbq but thats what resprays/detailers are for eh?

all you need is a calor gas bottle, a lighter, a bit of hose and a suitable adaptor from hosepipe to gas bottle.

Oh and someone to film it
