How tall are you guys and what is your ideal height for detailing.

Like the title says, I am about 6'1 -6'2 and wish I was 6'8-7 foot tall to paint correct bigger cars without stepping on a ladder. What about you guys lol.

[klix58]

6'4" for cars okay, for SUV or van step stool. For both a rolling stool for side panels, saves the back.

try being 5'5"......I feel like I need a bucket truck sometimes

:pc7424:Wouldn't being closer to the ground make it easier to work on the places that probably take the most time anyway?

[PaulMys]

Lol. I'm 5'9". and I feel like I'm 3'9" when trying to detail my Ram truck.

I'm just a hair over 6'. When working on my car or a small SUV it's really not a problem. When I do a truck, or a big SUV, a ladder is required

I am 5'11 and detailing 2006 Mustang GT is a pain in the rear!!!! Especially when doing the doors with my 7424XP, wish I had a roller adjustable chair. I am at 200 lbs. and determine to get into a weight loss diet in order to loose some stomach fat! It gets on the way at times!

[cyclops]

Same height as you just over 6' 1". Most cars are no problem but SUV's and the like require a small step ladder. The trick is not doing an overkill on the ladder. Has to be stable of course but also easy to maneuver becomes second nature using it.

[GSKR]

5'9 for me and never use a latter.for the roof open door and stand on sill to polish,then stand on rear wheel to finish the back part of the roof.

So how good is this Indian with a polisher? And can he make my curry recipes any better??

[dlc95]

5' 3".

I need a ladder for semi truck type vehicles.

[DetailTrail]

5'8" just did a mid. SUV. with a mid. ladder. PITA

[LEDetailing]

6' 0". Don't complain if you are a little "short" on height. Think of all the little cars that all the 6"4" and taller guys and gals cannot fit into. Think Miata.

You can always find a way to mechanically reach a roof, try shrinking yourself to fit into a Miata:)

My ideal height, probably right where I'm at. No one can reach the middle of the roof of an RV without help.

[Jimmy Vegas]

I'm between 6'1 and 6'6, depending on what convenience store I'm walking out of.
