The Problem!
When I installed the Gobi Stealth Rack on my 2010 Limited, I quickly realized that cleaning and waxing the roof was going to be a challenge due to the lack of space between the rack and the roof.
The Solution:
I grabbed a Swiffer Sweeper 2 In 1 Mop And Broom Floor Cleaner Starter Kit at Walmart and been really happy with how it works. The wet pad is a microfiber, so using it to wash the roof worked well with no swirl marks.
Next I used some microfiber towels and spray-on wax (I use Griots Garage) to wax the roof.
After spraying on the wax (through the mesh of the rack) I used the swiffer to spread the wax evenly. The swiffer dow not fit under the cross bars, but by positioning the swiffer base length-wise or sideways you can cover all areas of the roof.
By having the “blade” sideways, it fits precisely between the raised areas that run the length of the roof. You may want to use a second microfiber towel to buff off the wax.
Using this technique, I got my roof waxed in just a couple minutes and looking good under the Gobi.
