  • My friendly RV Dealer and Supply recommended me Best RV Roof Cleaner and UV Protector.

  • Try SOLVIT , small company in Madison Wi, (800-276-8102) solvit1@tds.net.
    Excellent all purpose product that really works well from a company that makes it here in the USA
  • try a product called 4U Jacks Campers in SD turned us on to it when we bought a new camper (to Us) after our fire last year

    If you are looking for a brilliant white roof with zero spots...I think you are asking for the impossible. I just washed mine this week with Spic & Span and it cleaned up good enough for me. There was still stains from the A/C runoff from both of the units. There were still some spots from the trees that I was under all winter while in GA. BUT it got 98% of the crud that would have eventually been black streaks. Yes I would like to have it spotless but I haven't found any magic to make that happen. BTW the Spic & Span was what the manufacturer of the roof material recommends. HTH
  • Did you search this Forum? It's been discussed before. Try Soft Scrub with bleach and a brush on a stick.
  • Plan on doing the roof this weekend...I just us car wash soap and our soft bristle brush, however, I am thinking of using a stiffer bristle broom and just not pushing it down very hard.

    Yes, that is where the black streaks start - which is why I wash the roof 2 or 3 times a year..and use 303 Protectant on it.

    Cause that is where a lot of the black streaks start.

    I just did mine yesterday. I just went up with a bucket of car wash soap and water, and a $2 sponge mop fron the dollar store. Its not perfect but it is a heck of a lot cleaner than it was.
