Cleaning outside windshield

[BigBadGorillas]

This may come off as a dumb question. What’s the best way to clean the outside of your windshield? I was washing my truck the other day and realized it’s impossible to reach the middle of the windshield. I don’t want to lean over or step on the hood. Any suggestions?

Step on your tire

I open the door and stand on the truck floor......

Yep, I do this when not home and can’t use a step.

At home, I have one of these for washing roof, tonneau, etc:

You need a squeegee

I need longer arms...
And to be about 30 years younger....
I used to stand on the tire, back before hopping down from 30+" made me feel like I just died.

I use a stepstool. That gives me the height I need to be able to reach across. Actually it's my ice chest. But i use it as a stepstool.

I use a small ladder because a step stool isn't tall enough for me lol

Invisible Glass spray, a waffle weave microfiber rag for cleaning and another one for drying. Perfecto

I use this:

Gorilla Ladders 3-Step Pro-Grade Steel Step Stool, 300 lbs. Load Capacity Type IA Duty Rating (9ft. Reach Height) GLHD-3 - The Home Depot

This Gorilla Ladders 3-Step Pro-Grade Steel Step Stool, Load Capacity Type IA Duty Rating Folds up thin for easy storage and carrying. Easy to handle.

It's very sturdy and has a wide top platform for me to stand on and lean over the truck without feeling like I'm going to fall. Plenty tall for me to reach across the windshield and get to every part of the roof I can't reach from standing in the bed.

It's a bit more than I need (I'm 6'2") but I had a Ford F-250 prior to this (with a solid fiberglass tonneau) so got this step ladder as I needed the extra height to reach everything on that truck.

Step ladder. I also use a magic eraser with initial wash. Takes bugs and dirt right off. Invisible glass cleaner after I dry.

I'm liking that gorilla ladder though. It just made the list!

If you want to add more to your list I used to use Invisible Glass until I discovered Sprayway. I haven't used anything else since:

Robot or human?

Always open to new things. I'll give it a try as soon as I run out of the other stuff. Thanks!

Can you use Sprayway on tint?

 

[Scap]

Can you use Sprayway on tint?

It says it's ammonia free.
