Short people, How is the best way to reach the roof to wash and detail the top, and to reach across windshield?

I use a step ladder for hood and windshield. Open the door for the roof and also use the bed for the back half of the roof. Didn't need a step for my 4wd GMC, which is at a proper ride height.

How the hell does a short person get **** in the bed?

My F150 has the tailgate step, makes it easy, On other trucks I would step up on the trailer hitch ball, then onto the bumper and over the tailgate. It worked easier than it sounds.

I picked up something like this from the local Menards.

It works great for the windshield, roof and tonneau cover.

Or something along this line. Should be able to find at WallyWorld or most auto parts places

So between a short stepladder / step stool as pictured, I can mostly reach most of the roof with a microfiber cloth. The middle is still tough, though; a wash-mitt-on-pole type deal works great for washing, but I'm struggling to come up with a good solution for drying.

Anyone come across any sort of rig that basically extends your reach with your drying towels?

That one that flowpro pictured above... I bet you could use it as a "push stick" for drying towels. The towels should stick to it pretty good
