I know for some of us hobbyists who do not have vehicle lifts for working on low-slung sports cars, it can be a literal pain trying to kneel on a floor or driveway while trying to buff out a lower door sill, bottom of fender wheel panel, and the lower front or rear bumper fascia. I am wondering what you Autopians are using for a rolling (caster wheeled)sitting chair/cart or kneeling pad when you do such detailing.
What precipitated this topic question was (past tense emphasized) a kneeling chair sold by the now defunct Top of the Line Detailing Supply, but I do not remember what it was called; something like the Racatac Kneeling Sitting Creeper. If you have and use such a chair/creeper, let me (us) know your experience and thoughts about it.
I also see there is a Kneel-It V3 Rolling Knee Pad that is similar in design, but I think it is geared toward the construction industry.
If you do enough detailing, having a rolling chair is almost a necessity to save your knees and back. I am at the (old) age where comfort and proper ergonomics need to be considered to save said back and knees. I am sure that many Autopians can relate, regardless of age.
Like any good tool, you get what you pay for, and hence, my question.
Helpful hint: For higher profile vehicles like larger SUVs and trucks, I sit on my platform step ladder that I use to stand on to access the roof when washing for buffing out lower panels. Just make sure to wipe off/clean the rails you stand on because they can get dirty when you stand on them with mud and debris form the washing. Definitely saves on the back for me!
