I've learned that's actually true of ANYTHING you say. It's all in the delivery and inflection. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrap Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Manlift is kind of a bit annoying cuz you have to lay on your belly in the basket to get enough steady pressure on the buffer. You end up with your legs bent up all backwards and the lip at the entry right up under your armpits. Then the basket gets to shaking and weaving and tries to hit the truck you just buffed. You have to get the basket right up in there. Scaffolding works, but anchor it really well cuz you'll be putting a lot of sideways pressure on it with your feet when between levels. Nothing about it is fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl0svn Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 I made a long reach buffer out of an electric weed Wacker that has an adjustable head and extendable arm. Works great for claying and buffing my truck roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It extends out to about double that length and the head pivots up and down so that you can get the correct angle. I use it all of the time. Mostly with the clay pad now since I keep using a ceramic spray every 6 mos-year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Giant at Lowes I'm hoping they are the real thing. Sure seemed like it when I bought it used from Craigs list. Guy said he bought it at Lowes, but never used it. I used it last weekend and was very happy I replaced my prior quad fold ladder. Sure I could do the same thing with the quad, but it took forever to get it folded or unfolded they way it needed to be. The Little Giant releases work very well and finding the correct height took very little time. The "Stabilizer extensions" worked great on uneven ground.

Wrknrvr Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) So this is how I work on the side of our truck. Waxing, painting or mechanical stuff. Just need to have everything solid on the ground. Good balance and make sure you have all your supplies where you can get them without making many trips up and down the ladder. Sometimes I will set the plank on the head of the engine and then over to a ladder. That way you can wax the front of the cab from a level place. Then climb up over the back some how and wax your way backwards over the cab. My first time I wax a truck cab I started at the back. Then climb up on and worked my way forwards. Dam near went completely forwards out over the hood and onto the ground. Stay Safe , Vern Edited August 6, 2021 by Wrknrvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
