This would work. Put a 4 by 6 foot sheet of plywood on the forks, to lay face down on

As long as the operator doesn't make a fork shaped indentation in the roof on accident...

Dangling from your BobCat would make for a real fast wax job.
Right now any further waxing will wait. I "troweled" the short muddy section of my driveway this morning. Now it will be nice and flat when it becomes dusty.
And I have had to give up on having a nice tree lined driveway. For whatever reason the small pines "leaned in" along both side of the driveway this winter. A real PITA. So, right now, the project is cutting and chipping young pines. It looks to be around 1200 to 1500 by the time I'm finished.
The mile long driveway is full of pine cones this spring. They shed their seeds in the driveway. I plow snow to the edges in the winter. Young pines grow along both sides of my driveway.

My shoulders got sore yesterday - felling the small pines. I'm about half way done with the felling. So I swapped the rear blade for the chipper. Today I chip.
The afternoon was so nice - I finished waxing the Taco Wagon. Since I have the moon roof - I don't have to reach to the center to wax. Side steps and standing in the bed - got all of the roof waxed.
Now if that short muddy section of the driveway will just dry out - I'll be set for the summer. It should dry rapidly. I "troweled" it smooth two days ago.
That new formulation of Meguiar's wax really puts a shine on the truck. They say it's "Hydrophobic Wax". Sounds like some customer relations person finally figured out that wax repels water.
It's such a deep blue shine - the truck looks like a blue mirror.

Your truck looks good, a lot of sheet metal to polish on her.

James - I think it's (Hydrophobic Wax) a lot of advertising hype. However, it's supposedly the best wax in 2019. Whatever - I put two coats on it and hope it will last until this fall. I would imagine it's somewhat like waxing an aircraft carrier. Fortunately, the wax is easy on/easy off.
I can see now why I would have preferred the SLATE color that is offered. The dark blue shows every single speck of dust, every drop of bug guts, etc. It does look nice when all shined up.
With this beautiful sunny, warm weather the muddy section will be all gone in another day or so. Makes no difference what a person does out here. It's either dust from the driveway or the dust brought by the gentle winds. That dust doesn't look so bad - it's an even coating over the entire vehicle. If so desired - it can be washed off with the garden hose.

Well - we( Brownie & me ) went on a long trip up into the mountains of NE WA yesterday. 330 miles Over one of the highest mountain passes in this part of the state. Got 18.1 mpg on this trip. The Taco Wagon is getting broken in. It has 4500 mile on it now.
Only down side to the Taco Wagon. The dark blue metallic paint sure shows all the dust & dirt.
