Do you get a ladder to clean your Pilot?
especially on the roof?
How do you clean it?

I use a microfiber wash mitt that goes on the extendable pole but at 6' 7" I really don't need it.

I use a small aluminum work platform -- you can get it at Home Depot or Lowes for about $35. It's very sturdy, and you don't have to move it as much as a stepladder -- you "walk" down the platform as you wash the roof (I move it once per side). It also comes in handy when painting indoors.

I use a 4' step ladder and move it around quite a bit. I found the side steps put me too close and I'd end up getting soaked while washing.

I still have a car wash brush on a pole that I bought when we had our Chev Astro back in the 90's. It's on of those that hooks to the garden hose and can extend, which makes it perfect for washing vans, trailers, boats, and such.

You can buy this kind of product from many sources and probably alot cheaper. I just pulled the first one after a google.

This is what I do just in case you don't want to break out the ladder and stuff. I use the sidesteps for the front and sides and then step onto my rear tires to get the back of the roof. Been washing my car like this for a while now.

Re: Do you get a ladder to clean your Pilot?
Roof?? Clean??
 I do like the others and stand on the rear bumper and the sides with the door open.It helps if you have the roof rack to grab hold of and hold onto. Be careful of the belt buckle. Quote:

Me too. At 6'2" I'm not quite tall enough to do it without opne. And when I've tried, always get soaked.
