BTW - they are now being sold at L.L.Bean for $18.
I'll take pictures if my wife remembers to bring home the digital camera from work. Need to take pics of my garage too![Smile](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Impressions of the brush - woah. Polycarbonate blade is mean looking, the handle is reinforced plastic with some type of fiber or something, because it does not flex and is very solid. The swivel head functions well, with a spring loaded push button on some type of cam-action swivel. And of course, the awesome *Oxo* rubber grip is nice and squishy. The bristles are much softer, not made of nylon. They should not cause any damage to the clear coat.
(FWIW, last Feb. when I got my A4 I put a nice scratch in it because the scrapper was on the backside of the brush's end. And I made a lot of clear coat scratches, especially on my hood, with the nylon brushes. It was a typical and cheap brush from Walmart or Parts America, and no longer is allowed in the A4. The A4 now has a new friend sitting on the back floor.

I think I used a corner of the polycarbonate blade to break some ice loose on the rear window last year...I ended up putting a 1" scratch in the glass. I should have known better than to use the *edge* of the blade, rather than the straight portion, as it was intended to be used. :-(

That brush would have to do a lot more than clean my car, if you know what I'm sayin...
Anyone know where else you can get one (in Canada preferably)?

When the snow is the really heavy or wet type, i.e. not powdery, it tends to glob and stick to the brush. When this happens, the brush feels like it ways 15 pounds and becomes ineffective for snow removal. Simple solutions is to beat it against a tire or your foot every few swipes.
Other than that, it's a nice product. Good luck with it.
