    I carry glass cleaner have a brush and blue shop paper towels open the hood and stand on the tires. At the truck stop I inspect the washing pole dump the bucket add clean water if necessary and I carry dawn dish soap for said bucket.

    I've actually seen people use the squeegees to wipe off spilled fuel on the vehicle. I called a woman out on that once, I said, "people have to use that on their windows, you know",,,she looked at me like I was from Mars.,,,, moron.

    That looks like exactly what I need. What did y'all get the retractable pole?

    I’ve found that putting about four ounces of Fabuloso in my washer fluid gets most of the bugs to dissolve nicely.

    Everytime I fill the washer fluid I also fill a spray bottle with it. Get the good ones from the hardware store. It works way better than the windex bottle and your not creating an other expense everytime you run out of winded.
