Snow of Dish

[Carl B]

Do not use Pam. I tried it years back on a Dish 500 and it did little to reduce snow accumulation. However, come summer, it fries to the dish and turns it yellow, very unpleasant looking. I'm still looking for something else to put on the dish, might try the Rain-X idea as dry silicone just doesn't look like it would work based on my other uses of it in an outdoor environment.

I used rain-X yesterday right b4 the storm, I have three dish's... Used rain-x on two of the three. The dish that I did not use the rain-x on is covered with ice and wet snow. The other two don't have so much as a single snow flake.
Rain-X is the way to go it seems.

The remaining question is - how long before you need to reapply the Rain-X ??

However, regardless of that, it is better to go out and do something to your dish when it is sunny and clear than when it is pouring snow at night !
