Default How do you reach across the roof and hood?
are people using some extension poles to reach across the hood and roof of your trucks? Having a hell of a time without a ladder and laying on hood to reach the center for waxing/ect

People either buy a pole with something on the end, or use a stepladder. I use a step ladder.

Short step ladder. I don't trust myself with a pole - I just know I'll bang up the paint at some point.

I have a step stool with 3 steps on it. Perfect for my 2wd and 4x4.

I love my car wash. They use step ladders and are very careful. I have gumby arms for waxing and I do that.

Yes. I've had one for 20 years and am now on my 3rd truck with it. The one I have won't work well with really wide tires, but it's OK for the 275s I have on the truck now.
