To stand on doing roofs??? door sills?? a box???:confused:
 
I use one of these, my feet are a little on the big, OK a large size and they get stuck in the small plastice stools you can buy.
This gives you a little more room to move around on.
I think it's about 20" high and you can find them at Lowe's or Home Cheapo or a good Hardware store.
They are $40 but I think I got mine on sale for $35

If I get one, I'll be getting this one. Nice that you can move side to side, ON the step.
 
I use it for my electrical work and for many other non-detailing projects.
The legs lock in place so it's safe and very sturdy
 
i hang from a branch to do the roof. works great intill the branch brakes and i fall flat on my face:( :D

LOL. Tarzan style detailing huh? well, Tarzan hangs from a vine or something, but you get the idea.

edit: Oh yeah I forgot about my response. I use this step stool, but I need something where I can walk around like the one that Stittville Ed uses

which one:confused:
 
I use a rubbermaid folding step ladder from Walmart. I think it's around $15. You can see a picture on Officedepot website item 229669. I replaced my first one that I used for 5 years or so in my mobile business. It still works fine but had some damage from backing into it with my truck a couple of years ago. Figured I'd replace it before it broke on me one day. I'm 230lbs and have been as high as 265. I stand on back tires but I can't do the front tires. I don't like to stand in the door jambs for fear the plastic strip might break. I'd like one of those platform things though.

Werner step ladder.

It's really sturdy on the top platform, but to be honest it's almost too heavy to be moving around the car (mine's a monster Expedition).
