My wife used to work at a car dealership and picked up a sno-rake from the service dept one day. They gave her a used one to keep. It's what they use to clean snow off the cars on the lot after storms.

I used it one day and then bought one for myself and a few other relatives.

I also bought one last month as an XMAS gift for a friend. After his brother tried it on his truck XMAS day, he's a carpenter and doesn't have any kind of bed cover, he told me to buy one for him, which I still have to collect the money for. So I ordered one for him. He said he usually goes through 2 brooms per winter and this thing works much better.

They also last. Mine has four years use with little wear showing.

So it's a great product and I have no affiliation with the company whatsoever. I just thought I'd pass it on.

It cleans snow off any vehicle super fast wth no scratches at all. It's perfect for larger vehicles too.

I just order the model 105. It's the original.

Like I said just thought I'd pass something that works great IMHO.

That would be nice for getting the snow off the tonneau cover faster!

You bet. Clears off my UnderCover tonneau and the rest of the truck (2004.5 CTD Quad Cab) in no time.

Funny, my 79 year old mother cleans off her car, and her two neighbor's cars who park on either side of her. All the rest of the folks in the complex pay the plow guys to clean off their cars. Like $2 bucks each or something.

It's like her entire life she hated to do it with the usual snow brushes but now she has something that'll does it in about 1 minute with very little effort, so everytime she uses it she gets a feeling of accomplishment. It's like leverage.

She bought one for her brother last month.

It's just a very simple, well designed and well made product that kicks butt!

I picked up a set of those (you buy one and if you "act now" you get a second one for free) rubber floor squegee/brooms. It is designed to be a "super broom" for floors and carpet. Not impressed with it on the floors or carpet. So I tossed in the garage, and discovered it works great for snow removal on the truck.

It has a flat blade side that does nice on the windows, and the other side has little rubber bristles that I use for the painted surfaces (so it don't scratch). It has a 4 1/2 foot handle, the "blade" is about 14 inches wide, and like I said, is a soft rubber with plastic handle. Works good. Not a high (wide) blade like the one in the link, but works good and cheap also.

I just checked on ebay, they call it a "dutch rubber broom".
