i would be very inclined to get them to move the cars (at least enough to not risk damage)...then me personally....i would use ladders with a footer at the bottom

its a good point though isnt it, if you gained the contract how did you price it if you dont know how your going to do it? i would be inclined to get them to move the cars and ladder and get it footed

30 ft is quite high on a ladder.
Using wfp may not be as stupid as it sounds.
I have not been in this situation yet,  but doing the top 2 or 3 rows wfp and using the water from this to complete the job using squeegee may actually work very well.

You sound like you know what you're doing !!! Even though you can't spell and can get a contract. Anyway, i'd probably use an unger trad pole (or equivalent) with an angle adapter as sold by wagtail (OTHERS ARE AVAILABLE).

Can you tell us the address, and the dealership details, and we can then call in the professionals and get the job done ?       Whoever gets the job has to pay you a commission.

In a word, no.

All this is is a modified backpack assembled on a belt.

you can get an internal wfp system that uses wet vacs to extract the waste water iv never priced them and dont really want too the prices they charge that dragonfly makes me p a fibre glasspole with a vikan top and a spray gun £500 haha  id go for a pole with a traditional adapter takes longer but thats where the price increases
