Whats the best way to get like the front top of a pick up truck.
When I polished and applied sealant to my truck, to get the top of it I basically climbed up in the bed then there is a plastic sill around the bed of the truck which I stepped up on and could get some leverage and see what I was doing. But again your leaning out across the top of the truck. Getting the center of the hood closest to the window was a pain as well. Washing the windows and getting the center and the top are difficult sometimes I wash them with the doors open so I can hand on to the inside of the trim and stand on the running boards. Doing just a maintenance wash is not really a problem as you don't need to a lot of leverage and effort to do this.
There has to be an easier way, something I am not thinking of other than setting up scaffolding. I am not a short person either 6' 2" I am just getting close to 50, don't move as well as I used to so climbing all over my vehicle is rougher. I have thought about bringing out my ladder, but just the thought of what could go wrong with a metal and fiberglass ladder. Not thinking really of falling but more accidentally scratching the paint if I were to slip and the ladder go into the truck.
Thoughts or ideas? Are there some plastic rubber steps or something somewhere people have run across that work well?
