Snow Brush Recommendation?

I'm looking for a good-quality snow brush which is soft enough not to scratch the paint surface. Does such product actually exist? I searched the board but couldn't find anything.

No snow brush really exists like that. For one,the snow itself can scratch the paint... either because it's frozen into clumps of packed snow/ice or because it is pushing dirt around on the surface. You'll just have to be careful and deal with it until you can break out your PC and take care of the swirls in the spring.

Use the brush on the glass, push the rest off lightly with your arm (and not down to the surface)... that is what I always do.

If you don't want clear coat scratches, park the car for the duration. Otherwise, you will have scratches from the brush and the ice & snow.
