Is there a tool or technique to clean between a pickup truck bed/cap and the cab? It's a notoriously small area and difficult to clean, and I searched and didn't come up with much. I can't be the first person to have this issue. Does anyone here have a preferred method? Thanks in advance!

I have often thought about that as well and I have made some attempts at it. A old wooden handle inside of a chenille wash mitt can get a little deeper into that area but you have to worry about the handle coming in contact with the paint. Also the mitt has a tendency to fall off and get stuck in an area where you can't get to it. I just try to clean the areas that are visible.

I use a long paint stick wrapped in a MF towel.

Get a mf wash mop. On the handle install some pipe insulation. Available at home improvement stores cheap.

Try one of these:


Or a small wheel woolly. These are the two best effective options we’ve found.

good ideas above but also check inside the topper,some toppers have tabs you lift and the glass comes out or folds down.

I converted one of those flat, flexible,
“under-the-appliances” dusting tool...
and configured it for a removable
microfiber-wrap.

{Note to self:
Get around to washing the
microfiber-wrap, posthaste...;)

This is what I use & to great effect. It is actually designed for this exact purpose. I’m unsure of the manufacturer (can ask next time the rep is in) but I got it from a Malco/Pacer Rep.

That tool looks like it would work perfectly! Please ask your rep next time you see them, and let us know the tool's name and manufacturer, and where you can get one (and the price if you get that info too). Exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you!
