    Hard to reach areas?

    I need some tips/ideas on buffing detailing roofs and hoods on lifted trucks and esuvees. What do you guys use to reach those high areas?

    I know that they sell some type of platform...I remember some of our vertically challenged members using them. I forget who makes them but I have seen them in HD and Sears.

    I use a one step stool. I`m also 6` tall and have a good reach.

    A stool is what I use as well. Oh and an apron so you don`t scratch the paint

    I use a small ladder (has 3 steps one of those painter type ladders) but I like the looks of that folding platform!
