The ends of the bristles have been soften; it works good
Same here, works great and doesn't scratch, although I've only used it a handful of times since my car is parked indoors at home and at work.

A detail in the fall, and then another one in the spring; I'm not worried. Safety take priority.

Same here. I actually use two brushes on occasion; one with stiffer bristles to move the top layer of heavy snow, then this one for whatever is left over closer to the body.
