Extension Pole for Mitt / Brush - Page 2

A pole
With a microfibre washing surface
That extends between 60 and 125cm.

It ain't far off.

Unless there isn't 40quids worth of difference in the microfibre?

These typically have a pole that’ll bend or snap after a few uses.

Each to their own and I’m not getting into a discussion about cheap stuff that does that job against more expensive quality products that last.

I use one of the small plastic folding steps if I’m doing a mates car that’s large / high roof.

They do 2 versions- what I’d call a single step and a double. I’ve the single step and can manage to do a XC 40 and his other Disco sport just, I’m looking to get the double step shortly to make it a bit easier

If you have a full length Pano glass roof then I would definitely layer up on the glass coating so the sap clears with hose pie rinse. I know as i have the same and three layers of Sentinel Optic on the roof and other glass keeps the sap from sticking. PPF the hood and coat the rest.

If you can't reach the roof for washing then I am guessing you can't reach the roof to apply products?

For the price of that pole shown earlier would it be better to get a small work platform?

I’d recommend the Microfibre Madness incredipole also, expensive maybe but the quality is very high.

Plus 1 for this product. Pole is made of very high quality and is a fantastic bit of kit. Expensive yes but can't see it breaking anytime.

I totally agree,I bought a couple of the Screwfix hop up platforms and they are great with the added bonus that you can use them around the rest of the house and garden.

Thanks to everyone for advice and perspective. Really appreciated.

The incredipole is now on my Santa list - will save the missus buying more socks or hankies...!

I do have a hop-up platform already and think that I might buy another and glue some foam / pipe insulation around the top edge - as the aluminium is rather sharp and I would hate for it to be knocked and dent / scratch a panel (as is always the risk with an enthusiastic 9yr old!!!!!... and me!)

Cheers again and it’s genuinely a nice feeling to know that there are so many enthusiasts / professionals willing to spare a few minutes to offer their assistance.

Have a great Christmas all,

Palfers
