0 falcaineer Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Adam's sells this truck brush. Might be of interest. https://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-truck-brush-combo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rrmccabe Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Thank you. Did not know they sold that. But do not want to use a brush in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may ask why don't you want to use a brush? It is super soft and won't scratch your paint, I use mine on my Ram roof all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris, I am a big Adam's fan but don't agree with Adam on everything. Going to have to go with my gut on this one. As you can see below, I am a pretty loyal customer but I just cant brush wash paint Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pirahnah3 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Why not just get a step stool or platform instead, no need to put undue pressure on the paint because of a bad angle. Firebuff17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Firebuff17 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I use a platform to reach the roof of my RAM crew cab roof. Actually thinking about getting a second one. That way I don’t need to move it while I am washing and drying or polishing/sealing the roof. Liralen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Beemer Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've got two platforms for washing my F150. Works great and can reach all the way across. Liralen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rrmccabe Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 I have step stool now but it dangerous for me if I get soap on it. Have about ended up on my head a couple times. I am thinking the mitt on extension can be used from the bed. Catch the center of windshield too. Find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Beemer Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I think i got them on sale for $20 each a year ago or so. Keep your eyes open for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I use the Truck Brush on my vehicles throughout the winter months still using the two bucket method, no scratches, swirls, or washing marks... They sell like "Hot Cakes" at the Carlisle Events when folks can touch the brush head. Chris@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rrmccabe Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 That looks like a nice little platform and I could use that for other things as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Liralen Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I use a similar platform that got at Costco, it has black non-slip on the top, works great and is really sturdy...I just need it to be about 4 inches taller...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 davered00ss Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I bought one at Walmart with a microfiber mitt on the end you can remove and was for my Tacoma double cab. I still have to get up in the bed to wash and wax the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rrmccabe Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Yea I saw those I think. Has the fingers on them right? I considered those as well. With the location of my mirror its tough to reach the center behind windshield and forward of sunroof even on my step stool. Also, I can only reach the back of sunroof from the bed. So having something with a handle in the bed will probably be the best setup. Have to roll up bed cover to do it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pirahnah3 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I use this 2 step stool, which is really sturdy yet fairly light weight. It JUST fits in the bed of my truck under the tonnou cover as well. It works quite nicely as a seat when needed What I really like about it is the wide step and the channels for the water/dirt to settle into which means even with wet feet there is no chance of slipping. I got mine in black and used a discount code to the site when I ordered it. I want to say it came in somewhere around $60-$70 shipped. https://www.zoro.com/dpi-step-stand-2-steps-polyethylene-yellow-st217-14/i/G9995684/ mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
