I guess I just need to pay the $300.00 to have someone do it.

Install a sunroof and then you can reach everything you can't reach from the toolbox in the bed.

Or park under a tree and hang from the branch overhead.

Just my poor attempt at humor.

Just put on an old pair of sweats, crawl up on the top and slide around with some wax.

Waxing a Crew Cab

You all are making this way to hard. It is very easy if you use your girlfriend.
Have her put on an old pair of sweats, then sat her 98 Lb butt up on top of the truck, with you standing on top of the tool box just get one leg in each hand and push her back and forth toward the front of the truck, this should clean up the wax job real good. Now if she is one of them BIG ole Gals, maybe you should sat on top of the truck and let her pull your legs.

where do you buy the clay at? ive seen it before and it looks like it would work good.

ive got long enough arms that i can reach far enough to get the top, i do the back half from the bed standing on the top of the bed just below my back window, and then do the front half standing on the door jambs.
