I did a little research and I guess your not supposed to push any frozen snow or ice from your car as it can damage the paint. Well I usually just try to push it off with my gloves as I didn't think it would do any harm. I just thought I would see what you guys thought about it. And yes I do wax my car if that adds to anything.

when the doors are froozen I push little by little until the ice breaks, the rest I let it melt as the car warms up. if there's only snow, then its okay to remove

I stop in those do-it-yourself car washes, pump in a dollar and rinse/blow it off. Takes 2 minutes and keeps it kinda clean in the winter.

Edit: Just don't blast the water into door seals and whatnot and you'll be ok.

If the one near my house was that cheap id do it too. It costs me 5 bucks for a 5 minute car wash.. I do all mine at home and it is a pain in the butt. Its either that or I wait until one of the local highschool clubs does a car wash, but they never do a really good job.

Thanks guys somehow they said frozen snow can have crystals that will scratch your car. I usually only deal with ice when it's on the windshield.

on my old dakota I had I never cared lol but on the v I just clear most of the snow but dont wipe it right down to the paint so I dont scratch it

Up here, 12 inches of snow is common during a storm, and I usually just wipe it off with my arms or a snow brush. I scrape the windshield/windows/mirrors and if there's any hard stuff on the car I just leave it to melt when the sun comes out.

I still have a huge slab of frozen ice or snow covering my cars roof. It's been their for about 4 or 5 days.

I hear ya... my versa was my first new car. Unfortunately, as with most new cars, the paint/clearcoat appears to be very thin and scratches easily

The way I deal with this is to live in California.

If you have seen Pimp my ride their are still rusty cars in your state which is hard to believe. But they must have been driven near the ocean.
