    buy liquid wax, put it into a sprayer and have at it.

    or buy the liquid wax that mixes with water, such as at car wash places, buy a sprayer that ataches to the garden hose, have at it.

    no wax/polish will last very long anyways.

    i'd only wash my trucks, and let them air dry.

    that's when i used to wash them.

    i ain't washed a truck myself in years, the company paid for an onsite truck wash.

    Why not just use the extendable pole you used to wash it? Put a flat end on it, like a swiffer, with wax on one cloth and then buff it off with a clean cloth m

    Pretty sure you can find a fire escape in a alley somewhere..

    I have not been up top of a tractor in decades. Blue Beacon takes care of all that.

    Best to get a scaffold, You won’t catch Me climbing up there either. Maybe park next to a Tanker with a ladder on the side. I’ve changed lights that way before. Seriously I’ve thought of an extension pole, and using by finish polish. It works great. Not into hard labor if at all avoidable.
