Re: Cleaning the roof, need a quality stool/step ladder
little giant safety step ladder. best there is. check the frame size, step area and their warranty. they have 2, 3, and 4 step sizes and free shipping. makes my old werners look like grade school. i am a big guy and never feel shaky on these ladders. bought one after i finally fell and needed a new knee. cant say how much these mean to me every day i work.
Re: Cleaning the roof, need a quality stool/step ladder
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I did look at Little Giant Safety Step Ladder | Safety Step Ladder and they are a bit expensive. If its sold locally however I'm going to check it out.
Re: Cleaning the roof, need a quality stool/step ladder
I have the werner one and have velcrom actually both peices I guess I only really needed the one on the sides. I can reach the middle of the roof on a 07 Trailblazer no problem and I'm 5'7". It's easy to move around as well.

That's reassuring knowing your height + the vehicle that you can reach the middle of the roof. Thanks man :props:
Re: Cleaning the roof, need a quality stool/step ladder
The Werner platform is a nice idea but it wouldn't work for me. I'm 6 ft and my Tahoe is very tall. I can't even get the middle of the hood or windshield without a step stool. I first got a two step step stool which is the same height as the platform and it would barely work to get the roof if I leaned against the vehicle and really stretched. I then got a Werner 3 step stool and it was much easier to use and I can lean a little to each side so I only have to reposition it twice per side. It all depends on how tall your SUV is. The Werner 3 step stool is very sturdy and locks open. I got it at Lowes. Shop Werner 3-Step Steel Utility Step Stool at Lowes.com

if they do, rest assured it will have a wolfgang, dp, ag or some kind of decal on it and it will run double amazon or walmart/you name it LOL.
Found one today at lowes that was 29.00 even better score, but very dust covered on the bottom shelf. Looks very nice though.

So I just purchased the Werner and Rubbermaid step
Shop Rubbermaid 3-Step Aluminum Step Stool - Ultra Light Series at Lowes.com
was wondering what you guys do to the sides so you can get it close to the vehicle possible without damaging the car itself?
Re: Cleaning the roof, need a quality stool/step ladder
I use mine with the step stool facing the vehicle instead of the sides towards the vehicle so I don't have to twist to wash or detail the roof. The stool is very sturdy so I don't worry about it leaning forward and contacting the vehicle. I'm just careful when I position it. If your concerned you may be able to use some foam pipe insulation over the legs, top rail etc.
