    Cleaning the roof, need a quality stool/step ladder

    So look I'm 5'6", I'm not super short, I'm not super tall.

    Problem? Roofs. My older cars have always been two door, seats on the floor vehicle. I have never owned a four door vehicle till now. And the problem is that I can only reach about 1/3rd of each side, leaving the middle bare.

    Than I have a new SUV that stand more than six feet tall that needs the roof cleaned, corrected and coated.

    What do you guys use to get the jobs done at the top? Any suggestion on models and where to purchase them?

    Thanks in advanced.

    I've got the one 2kred posted. It's nice, light, and sturdy. End legs lock and have steps at each end to walk up. You can take a step either direction without getting down to move it.
    I've also got a step ladder. It's a big one so is a pain to break out, and move around the car. If you go with a step ladder I'd consider something light, sturdy, big steps, or platform.

    Thanks for all the replies. Looks like the Shop Werner so far is the winner but I don't think I'll be able to do all the roof of the SUV with that, however at only 35bucks on clearance sale its worth to take a look at.

    Im sure itll work, with you placing it in the right spot of the SUV and a little stretching you wont have any issues finishing up the job.
