Ok guys, I need some tips for cleaning, polishing and drying the top of my Tahoe.
Currently I am able to do the roof forward of the "B" pillars by opening the doors. That is the only part you can see from the ground anyway. The rest... I have been cheating. *hangs head in shame* I have been washing with...wait for it...a long handled brush. Now that you have quit laughing or sneering in disgust regarding my automotive blasphemy, how do you clean them? Even with a step ladder, I can't reach the center without leaning on the sides. How do you correct/polish it. I have just been spraying it with Meg's Ultimate QW so the water beads and everyone just thinks I polish it too.

You can stand on the tires for washing and claying and protecting. Personally, I wouldn't polish the roof.

x2. Clean and protect. No one is going to be able to see your hard work.

I love that pic. I may just have to get some microfiber coveralls and buff it like I'm making snow angels. On a positive note, I'm glad to hear that others do not polish the roof. Clean and protect it is. Thanks guys.
