Give the wife's LR FL 2 a wash today. And got soaked washing the roof of it. Stand on the rear wheels and your trousers get wet. Stand in the front footwell and you mark and get the plastic kick plate wet.

Ive got an aluminium platform step ladder, 3 steps high plus platform, 120kg maximum load, from Homebase and they have a nice silver label on the side that goes nicely with the Stornaway Grey paintwork Thumbs Up

An alternative if you havent got steps is to get the wife to do it whilst you watch out of an upstairs window and tell her when shes missed a bit.
