What do you folks use to get to those hard to reach areas on large vehicles and trucks? I own a F-150, and it have trouble with the windshield and parts on the hood. My little arms just cant reach! lol
Any suggestions?

I got a gorilla ladder from home depot (thanks for the recommendation awd330!) and it works great for me.
Here`s a link:

EDIT: Do a search for gorilla ladder at homedepot (I can`t get the link to work for some reason :beat )
Which gorilla ladder works the best with detailing? There are many varieties.

I think we lost the original thread about the Gorilla Ladder Work Platform. Here is a repost of my photo comparing the platform with a standard step ladder.
Thanks AWD330, thats exactly what I am looking for! Which do you use the most, the platform or the ladder?
That`s the gorilla ladder I have and I also have a step ladder(kmart) like awd330`s. The gorilla platform is much more stable for me and I don`t have to worry about tipping it against my truck. I also don`t have to move it around quite as much as the step ladder. It`s easier to position also.

I use them both equally. When I`m detailing the entire roof, I use the platform for better reach and stability. It`s a big time and energy saver for me since I don`t have to keep stopping and climbing down to move the ladder a couple feet. However, if I`m just doing some localized work (like polishing a windshield), I prefer the regular ladder. It`s lighter in weight and has a big handle bar to lean against.
I dont see that ladder on home depots website. I see several other, but none with the large standing area and lean in bar. Any suggestions or do you happen to know the model # offhand?

AWD, did you say that Gorilla was around $30 or so in the last thread? I`m short, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to SUV`s.

I stopped at my local Home Depot this evening. The Gorilla Platform is $34.95. It`s located with the other step ladders, closest to the ones that are "articulated" (can be bent into different shapes).Originally posted by Nickc0844

Nick - I`m vertically challenged too, so a good ladder is very important to me.
fireman03 - They did not have anything like my step ladder. The most similar model had 3 steps instead of 2 and weighed quite a bit more than mine. Here is the model information for my ladder -
Werner Saf-T-Master, Type III Household, Model 264
Ladder size 2 ft, Siderail length 4.5 ft, highest standing level, 1 ft 10in
P/N 54311-01
Hope this helps.
