Dug it out and went to do some slidey stuff with it. Way too much fun to drive this car in the snow to let it sit all the time. It's amazing how good these are with snow tires on them - didn't even need to pop it into wet/snow mode.

I parked the Lexus. Then it slid to the bottom:

Tell me something. We don't get snow in my parts and I would like to know if you get any micro scratching when the snow slides off.

I'm not an expert.

Ice shouldn't scratch; but if there's dirt and other crap stuck in it, against the paint, I imagine there's a chance for scratches. With a clean car and protective layers of wax, sealant, or other harder coatings, I can't image much happening.

My was/is still dirty AF from the long road trip. It's ceramic coated; I'm not worried. I'll let it melt off.

Thanks. Good to know for when global warming reverses and it starts to snow on the Gold Coast. My car's paint will be fine!

That's where the ceramic coating comes in -- slides right off!

When I had my 06 GT it lived outside. I pushed off a chunk of snow one year and it scratched the top of rear spoiler. Must have had ice in the snow. Definitely left a mark.

No worries about any of that flying off on track day?
