Default Snow and the xB

Hey guys, we just got some snow, and I'm curious if I use a normal brush to clean it off, if it will scratch? What do you guys use?

Any kind of grit will scratch your car. There can be grit on your car or in the snow itself. Best thing to do is use a gloved hand to wipe everything off but to not wipe down to the painted surface. For the glass areas you'll be fine with whatever...

Default XB in the Snow...low enuf to b a plow?

I was curious to see how my 05xb would handle in the snow being that the body is so low. Not bad. Does ne one notice snow collecting under the bumper when goin over drifts or piles shoved in the street by your friendly neighbor? Fear of cracking bumper too.
