Using it as a pusher, I was impressed to discover the Garant brush easily coped with the challenge.Įven more impressive was the fact it readily removed an underlying hard crust of frozen rain after one particularly nasty storm. I happen to live in an area where we get abnormally high snowfall, so it’s not uncommon to have significant snow buildup on my vehicle. I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical about the foam brush’s capabilities when dealing with heavy snow accumulations. The aluminum handle has a foam grip midway along its length that ensures a firm, comfortable grip.

The other end of the tool has a cold-resistant, polycarbonate scraper with one edge lined with teeth for breaking up ice plus a straight edge for clearing it away. Both the swivel head and the telescopic function are controlled by large pushbuttons. The head is a swivel design that can be rotated 180 degrees, making it ideal for pushing or pulling snow off a vehicle. Now, in response to consumer feedback, a more advanced version has been developed featuring a telescopic, elliptical-shaped aluminum handle that extends from 91 to 132 centimetres (36 to 52 inches.) The foam brush was actually introduced a year ago and its design resembled the traditional snow brush. The EVA material left the surface unmarred while the bristle brush created noticeable scratches. In fact, the material was subjected to side-by-side tests with a traditional bristle brush in which each implement scraped a painted metal sheet 10,000 times.

The firm says the foam pad won’t freeze, clog with snow, wear down or scratch vehicle surfaces. Instead of bristles, the Garant brush uses a multi-layer, uniquely shaped pad of durable EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam, a material that’s commonly used in commercial car wash brushes.
