will using the brush part leave hairline scratches?

 

As long as it's on your glass only, you'll be fine. Glass is pretty hard. If the scraper doesn't, the bristles won't.

 

just keep that thing away from your paint!!!

I can see it now... *fade from black* you're scrubbing the ice and snow off of your windshield with great force and you learn over a bit too far and press really hard to get that last bit of ice off and the scraper flies out of your hand.... *enter super-slo-mo* in the background you can hear "nnnnnooooooooooooO!!!!" as the ice scraper bounces once... twice.... pinging off your hood chipping off the paint with every bounce.... three times.... *THUD* onto the ground.... *pan shot out showing the extreme dismay on your face.. the wind and snow slowly collecting on your bestilled outreached arm.... pan far back... fade to black.....*

 

One of the stupid things I did years ago in my Ford Escort was to try to "shovel" 15 inches of snow from my hood. I thought I did a good job but when it melted, I left 2-3 nice streaks on my hood.

Yeah, as long as you stick to the glass you should be okay.

I brush the snow off my car with the scraper's brush, but you need to make sure it doesn' touch the paint. So, I leave an inch or two of snow on the car and take off the other 10
