And, although I am relatively tall, I can't reach the roof of this SUV to towel it off and husband has been indisposed, so I am considering resorting to going to a car wash.

I guess it is a family policy to not spend money on car washes, since his car is 13 and hasn't been to a car wash either.
. Last time I WASHED my own car (~2 yrs ago) I fell off a stepladder while drying the roof and literary broke my arse (tailbone) and had to sit on a donut for 6 months. My driveway is on a pretty large hill and dumb me put the stepladder on the soap coated painted driveway and smash!. Even have it on video from my security cam. I watch it once a month as a reminder how I almost killed myself. LOL. Now I get it detailed once a year and that's it other than when I bring it in for an oil change.
