my tractors are spotless, due to the land being to wet to travel on, the roads are covered in soil due to flood waters washing my fields away

I find the local east European hand car wash best. One chap is about 7ft tall so has no problem with the roof!

Well worth a tenner and they dry it and black the tyres.  Disco 4 HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey

Dont knock it, it worked a treat, a prettier solution would be the handle from a vw combi or similar, I tried too bid for one on ebay but lost out , As mentioned in the thread Mrs G was pregnant at the time so something need to be done to prevent her over-stretching and/or falling whilst shutting the boot.
The fl2 has long gone handle and all, the dealer never noticed it never mind complain, and I have two healthy sons - I win  At work

You could always stand on the rear door mounted ladder
Then again if you have the G4 roof rack fitted, cleaning the roof is going to be a right pain, as it is boarded and a close-ish fit.

Personally, the local hand car wash for a tennner is good value, get a cup of tea and a chance to read the paper in peace. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Typical Welsh (n Yorkshire!) ploy - they quote you for a car wash then charge you extra for the essentials.

Tea, newspaper, glass inside, mats, vacuum all included in the price of a wash.
£20 for full autoglass polish.
£40 for a proper showroom valet- worth doing on SWMBO's car after it's yearly service, so she thinks I have done a good job servicing - bull beats brains on this one.

Strangely these are all local "lads" (Roy is older than I am) , Eastern Europeans have set up a couple of sites locally, but seem to be standing around, while Roy and his lads rarely have less than 3 waiting - hence the chance to read the paper in the brew cabin.
