Roof cleaning

Hi guys,

I like to take real car of my cars body work, two bucket washing, snow foam, claying, polish, waxing etc.
But really struggling to reach the roof for the normal weeks cleaning.
I always wash cars with to lamb mitts, one uper body, one lower as this reduces swirl marks etc. What do you guys use to reach all the roof as ladders next to the car scares me lol

I stand on a small (child's) chair and make sure I don't have a zip just in case I touch the car.

I can reach half way across, then I have to climb down and take the hop up round the other side to finish it! I find it works ok for me and sturdy too Thumbs Up 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

For the majority of the roof I stand on the rear wheel and reach as far as I can, then for the front bit I open the front door & stand on the tread plate. I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.

It took me three weeks of RRS ownership before it ocurred to me to drop the suspension to access mode! If I had a brain I'd be dangerous!
