幹他媽!
do u use a garden hose or a shovel to get all that off? too bad u can't hook up a garden hose to hot water faucet- cuz i'd imagine that would be the easiest and least scratches...

never use a shovel to get that off... one wrong move and you have deep scratches. worst of all, depending on how you shove it into that snow, you may not even realize that you hit the car.
i cleared off 12" today, not as bad as a foot, but still. I use an OXO Snow Brush. I first push the snow out, leaving about 1" or so of snow (really approximate.. basically, don't go all the way deep).
once i get all the huge snow off, i get the remaining 1" or so carefully, trying not to touch the paint and leaving maybe 1/4"-1/8" of snow that didn't want to move.
it takes a while longer, but i get a lot fewer scratches/swirls that way (as opposed to vigourously brushing the snow off). plus i use a snow brush with split bristles, which are quite gentler/softer than the regular snow brush.

Its ok. As long as I got the ice off of the headlights, tail lights, and windows, ill be ok. I dont mind having ice on the hood, roof, and rest of the body because it will all melt off later this week. I didnt even bother trying to remove it because I figured it would scratch it up. We'll just let nature take its course so to speak. The paint should be fine im hoping. Anyone else's car ok after experiencing something like this
