I clean them weather dependent but have a Little Giant ladder and telescopic aluminum utility pole that I screw a microfiber-combo-squeegee to get it done. Definitely slow and steady to not whack a panel or fall, lol. Also I don’t do it during the heat of the day to minimize temperature shock...

the 46 I bought as my first car when I was 14 and got me hooked on the classics. The 65 Barracuda Formula S I got 2 years ago from a friend that was going to make her a drag car but has all the trim so I am bringing her back into resto Mod stockish; he already installed a forged 360, shift kit...
