Short people Tall vehicles

[littlemissGTO]

So what`s a short (I`m 5 ft 1 on a good day) supposed to do in order to reach the center of the roof of a Surburban or other similar vehicle? I`ve seen ladders and steps that help you get to the top of the car/truck, but what about the center. Of course my arms are just as short as my legs are...LOL

Heck as it is I have a hard time reaching the center of the front and rear windshield of my car.:help:

a boars hair brush on a stick might help a little person like you, I am 6`5 and have no use for such a brush. lol

I open the doors and step up.

Meguiar`s makes a washing mop and they handle is very long.

I saw the brushes for cleaning, but what to do about polishing with a machine? Of course stepping inside the doors is a given for me. Even on my low profile car..LOL

I bought a painters platform at Home Depot for 45 bucks. It`s aluminum and has legs that extend. The actual platform is about 1x4` -30" to 40" tall and folds up out of the way when you don`t need it. I`m 5`8" and I do "need" it when working on big SUV`s. Don`t worry about your height, everybody knows you can bend a longer stick easier than a short one.

How about this Werner Ladder - Work Platform (http://www.wernerladder.com/newprods/workplatform.php)



I bought one from lowes last year. I think i picked it up on sale for about $25. Folds up and is extremely light. Came in handy when i was painting the ceilings in my house last year too.

Hmmm that werner platform looks pretty cool and not so expensive. Need to save money so I can spend more on detail products...LOL

Even with work platforms ( I have these: Amazon.com: Bauer Fold-N-Carry Work Platform #20900: Home Improvement (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/hi/B00006RK57/qid=1110756187/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/102-3680402-3941749) ) I can barely do the center of my Yukon XL`s roof, and I`m 5` 10" :nixweiss

LOL Looks like I need to find someone that`s about 6`4 or so to do tall vehilcles for me...

I hate having to use any kind of platform or step ladder, but I`m a little shy of 5`9 so I have no choice. Because my driveway is sloped, I have to be really careful about injuring myself and/or damaging the car because I`ve come close quite a few times by me shifting my weight too much one way or the platform or ladder losing grip against the concrete.

That`s what really scares me. I can see busting my tukas trying to use the UDM on one of these vehicles. Namely my brother`s Surburban.

Yeah i think a platform ladder is about as good as it is going to get. Or you could find the tallest pair of platform shoes available.
