What is your secret trick for cleaning your front cap?

What is your secret trick for cleaning/waxing your front cap?

It's always difficult to reach the front cap when washing a Class C RV.

I've tried the ladder next to the front wheels, but it's a long reach to get to the center of the front cap.

What do you do to make access easier?
  • One of these: Ladder

    I made sure it was tall enough to clear the hood of the E-450 when in the scaffold position. The one I bought came with aluminum "planks" to stand on.
  • Wait for a forecast of heavy rain. Take it out on the freeway, trying to head into the rain, at freeway speeds for at least 20 minutes to half an hour. Works well. Also, try not to drive it in temps above 50F. Bugs like warm weather.
