spindrift Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Pay a professional. Even so, they're putting their health at risk. I was having my truck washed this past fall and the guy was on a 6' ladder. He was rather large and kinda got a little sideways as he was coming off the ladder. He was only on the second step from the ground when he hopped off the ladder and landed on his foot the wrong way. Snapped his ankle clean off. And when I say snapped, think gruesome, 90*, foot literally hanging by a couple pieces of flesh, compound fracture kind of snapped. Nah, I don't need to be up there.

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 For me I opened the hood and stood up on the engine and reached as far as I could up the roof, about 1/3 of the way. The rest was natures problem.

durangodon Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 If you get it good and waxed and all shiny, the birds will poop on it because the reflection blinds them. This is especially true if there's a high wired close by that they like to hang out on. Ask me how I know. ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
