I use the werner work platform. It's sturdy and you can move side to side without having to repostion as you would with a ladder every pass or so. I can usually do two different sections as opposed to one on a traditional ladder.

And as for spotting defects a Brinkman Light is very handy top side.

LOL, sounds sketchy. I hope that is BEFORE any tire shine!

When I wash my truck's roof I usually just open the doors and stand on the door sill plate. It has some really sturdy oh-$#!7 bars to hold on to on the inside for balance. I would never do that on a CX's car though.
