Question for Vertically Challenged Drivers

That's funny right there....I don't care who ya are.

 

Ahh, I wondered how the shorter folk (I'm 6') did the windshield. I can just barely get it all on my tiptoes. Never thought of just popping the hood. I usually have the problem of making things too complicated and overlooking the simplist solution. Now my 5'3" GF can't say she can't clean the windshield while I fuel because she is too short.

 

She sure can clean the windshield! I did when I drove, and I'm only 5'2"! Did it the same as everyone else short . . . pop the hood and stand on the tires!

 

Keep a spray bottle with an inch or two of ammonia, a squirt of dish soap and the rest water in your door pocket. When you first get out to fuel, spray liberally on the glass.

Start fueling.

Scrub and spray as needed.

That stuff that the truckstop keeps in the buckets is usually little more than toilet water and the ammonia really attacks the bugs. Makes it much easier.

 

Amonia and dish soap is what most of the window cleaning companies use! It does work very well! Stinks to high heaven though.

I did a short stint cleaning windows once, until I ended up at the top of a fully extended 24' extension ladder practically hugging the window I was trying to clean. I'm not afraid of heights, but that was a bit too much!

 

Dawn seems to be very effective.

 

Look at the bright side. You can crawl under the trailers easier.
