How do you reach all of the outside of your windshield to dry it?

At least you can walk into a store and find clothes and shoes that fit. 38"waist x 36" inseam pants and size 14 extra wide shoes rarely exist in most stores....and those "big and tall" stores are for folks that are big AND tall, not "thin" and tall. And I won't even get into the number of times I've whacked my head on low hanging objects....damn near knocked myself out a couple of times :crazy: Being tall has it's advantages, but it has more than it's share of drawbacks too :)
As a 6'4" 205 pound guy with a 36" waist 38" inseam I truly feel your pain.

The only time it's handy being this size is grabbing something off the top shelf.

I just stand there and clean it.......6'5" and long arms :p :LOL: I do the same washing the roof, but I need to stand on my tippy toes.
ditto at 6'4"

Sid with all those lights I just figured all the heat would just dry it for U :crazy:
you're just giving him ideas about putting a FLOR on now ( infra-red ) so not only can be drive right up unseen, he then can light it up.:turkey:

I stand on the skinny pedal and let the air suck the water off.

Sort of a stupid question.

I have a wash mop with a long handle to help me wash the outside of the windshield. But when it comes to drying the windshield, I have a tough time drying it.

I have a gravel driveway and do not trust a stool/ladder next to my truck to help reach the middle of the windshield.

Right now I take a long towel, throw it and drag it across the windshield, but it does not do a perfect job.

Any tips?

Thanks
I use a squeegee as well.

Why is everyone here so tall... I'm only 5'4, I need to stand on the tire just to clean the top center of the hood without struggling:bandit: thankfully I can also clean the windshield from there too:whew:

Leaf Blower.
It’s funny, I sometimes use a Leaf Blower to initialky get the water off the truck and it works great on the body, but does not do a great job on the windshield.

Perhaps I have to rinse the windshield more to get more of the waxes off, because the water sure adheres to it. (Waxes included in the soap and from Meguairs Hybrid Ceramic Wax)
