Default brushes for carwashes?

Being a vertically challenged new RX owner, I'm wondering about the embarrassment of having to climb on a ladder to wash the roof of my RX. Can anyone recommend any brush types or brands I can use to get to those hard to reach places?

Thanks

David

A small step stool works great! I'm 6'0'' and still needed a stool.

Problem is with a brush you still can't completely see what you're washing and it does not help with waxing.

I luv standing on my stool for all the world to see. Beer in one hand Toro blower in the other ...drying the top.

Embarassment of climbing on a ladder, psha! Don't sweat it, it's an SUV anyway, not a car, not everyone can reach as high as me Maybe you can just get a step stool or something.

But, if you have to use a brush, get a soft one! Maybe even a car washing mit on a stick. See what stores like Wal-Mart, Target, etc, have to offer.

There are always other ways around it

I would stay away from most brushes as they will scratch the paint. Either use a ladder or if you can find a good soft washmit on a pole like a viking mash mit telescoping pole. You can find it at most autozones and maybe walmart. Whatever you do make sure its 100% cotton
