I take some glass cleaner to the back window and sunroof, but otherwise I usually don't clean my roof at all. I put the effort into making the rest look nice.

drying it is the biggest pain especially during the summer. if u dont constantly rinse the whole truck while you washing you get the soap streaks. There aren't any good car washes where im at so im stuck doin it on my own

Oh man, I feel for ya! I have always washed my vehicles in my carport; I have water run there and long hoses just for that, but after two washes on that truck I said "no more!" I resigned myself to going to this soft brush car wash near me for $7. When they come up with the unlimited washes for $20 a month I was in. I go through the wash and across the street to a parking lot to finish drying off what the blowers miss - which isn't much and I am good.

I work at the ford dealership, our guys just use brushes and step ladders to clean it up top.

and since i posted this i did find a nice extension pole with a microfiber cover that can be removed for washing and it does quite well with my step ladder. i am guessing i will pay someone to wax it for me when the time comes though.
