Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Default Washing the Roof of the H2

How are y'all washing your roofs? Mine has never been cleaned. With all of the baked-on pollen and dirt, it's very difficult. I can kind of get the edges with a mit, but trying to wash the middle is impossible since I can't really get enough reach and elbow grease even when standing on a tall ladder.

Definitely can not step on the roof either without denting or slipping and probably dying from that height.

I use my 6ft stepladder and pressure washer to clean my H3 roof.
Btw, the roof is strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle.

Cover a tall stepladder with a moving blanket between it and H2. With very little space between ladder and H2. Make sure that the ladder is against a wall on its other side so it can not fall over. Or strap it to the H2.

Then you can crawl up on a high rung and reach over half the roof. That is how I do it. I wash and wax it yearly. And remove any goo, touch up paint the seam caulk, etc.

Helps if you have long arms This is not a job for short people without scaffolding.

If you actually did that, you would dent your roof. Unless you are 10 years old…..

Thats a good solution to have a wall. Thats what ill do. Might try and get a 6ft pole with a mop or something. A pressure washer doesn't cut it either, it needs scrubbed.
