Re: Silly question- the roof?
Sounds like you’d be interested in
having a Mini-Scaffolding unit.
Here’s one example from HD that’s
only 4ft. X 4ft. X 2ft. It’s lightweight,
has a built-in shelf, nice set of locking
wheels, and folds up for storage.
Only ~$90, or so.
Looking back:
This is the size I should of bought. {#!&*%!}

Re: Silly question- the roof?
Even though challenging, always. As stated before, that’s what a pro would do. If I didn’t do the roof, I’d know even though the client might not as they might be accustomed to that level of work. Most times, a platform works. I’ve had to use a ladder to climb up onto the roof, use knee pads and protect the top. And I factor that into pricing.

That’s actually a really good idea!
You can disassemble it and easily store it neatly out of the way also.

Re: Silly question- the roof?
Having a regular cab truck, this is nice & simple for me.
I have a padded 2X10 that I lay across the bed rails up against the back of the cab.
This allows me to reach the entire roof for polishing/waxing.
As for washing, I will just stand up on the front of the bed lip with bare feet to hit the roof.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I've seen a poster on here detailing a Mercedes sprinter van and he did a half and half shot which shows how great it comes out. I always do the roof on my cars and any family members car that drops by since I dont run a business.

Re: Silly question- the roof?
To add:
When doing roofs where you have to use ladders, tables or whatever you need to reach, having cordless polishers is so nice. No cords to struggle with or potentially trip over.

Re: Silly question- the roof?
I don't get as intense with correction on the roof of my truck or SUV, but they get clay, and some sort of protection just like the rest of the vehicle.
