Default How does a short person clean a roof?

I’d happily pay my daughter to clean our RX and ES cars but at 5’3” she can’t get anywhere near the middle of the roof. This can’t be an unusual problem - who among us can reach a GX or Escalade or Hummer?

I’m thinking of installing a Tom Cruise/Mission Impossible harness in the garage but that would pose its own problems.

When I detail trucks or even lifted trucks I will open up the door and stand on the kick plate. Just make sure to not get the inside of the car soapy. You can also stand on the wheel itself.
