Use a soft extending brush for the roof only does the job perfectly

I usually wash the roof as well - standing on either the fixed sidesteps or rear tyres.

But last week, washing it in the cold and dark after work, I must admit to skipping the roof too!

With 322s I often didn't bother with the roof, though I keep a wooden kitchen chair in the garage to stand on so I can reach all of the roof. With the 405 being lower and having the pano roof which shows the dirt I do tend to do the roof most times. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Roof only gets an occasional.

Rest gets a light clean twice a week to make up for the roof neglect!

. Cheers, Greg
