Washing/Waxing the front of my trailer

Hello all, I have been mostly lurking here since 2015. Reading and gleaning all the info I could since purchasing my Roo 21ss. Well I have now also joined the dark side after 3 pop ups and one hybrid. I now have a 2019 Cherokee Grey Wolf 20RDSE and am having a hard time washing or waxing the front. If you know the Cherokee you know how rounded the front is. I can't seem to get the ladder close enough to reach the top/center of the trailer.I can't lean an extension ladder against it for fear of denting it and was wondering what other Cherokee owners do. The only thing I can think to do is go on the roof and wax down Just don't like walking on the roof any more than necessary. Any thoughts ?

I have a Rockwood with a rounded front cap. While not as rounded as yours, I cannot reach the very top with a ladder. I found the softest extendable car wash brush Incould and use that to wash the bugs and grime off the hard to reach areas. Numerous washings with no scratches or marks.
As far as waxing, I have a dedicated pair of white-sole, soft rubber shoes I wear on my roof. I only walk up there after I make sure there are no rocks or other debris in the shoe. I then can wax the upper part and inspect the seals while up there.
When I must kneel to wax or seal, I use an old saddle blanket folded in half to kneel on. They are soft enough to protect the roof, and dense enough to spread the load, and soft enough for my bad knees.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I kind of thought I would have to do that . I just don't want to slide off the end. Guess I'll have to tie myself off.
