The June 2015 issue of MotorHome magazine has an interesting article Dry Cleaning a fiberglass roof with waterless product.http://washwax.com/waterless-wash-products/It sounds interesting. Has anyone tried this product and what is your opinion of it?

I have used their washing and waxing product on both of my cars and the motorhome with outstanding results. It is easy to use and leaves all of my vehicles very shiny. I have not used the degreaser that the article recommends, but would expect the same high quality with that product.The company is very customer friendly. As an example: I use their double sided mop to clean the motorhome. A short while ago I received an email from them that the mop heads did not meet their quality standards. They sent four new mop heads free of charge. I was impressed. Good luck with your project.

I just get up on my roof with a bucket of plain water and an old fashion string mop. After the mop up I dump the water on a near by tree or plant.

Anyone who's been on one of these fiberglass roofs, AFTER it's not been cleaned for quite some time, will tell you how bad it is, especially if it's been stored outside or, has been on the road for a while. Since the surface is horizontal, it will collect dirt/dust/debris/leaves etc. Getting up there and just "fluffing" it off with something less than soap and water and a brush, just ain't gonna cut it. To me, that goes along with the sides too. If that coach is DIRTY, as in you can SEE the dirt on it, I'm personally not going to grind it into the paint. It takes a good wetting to loosen the dirt etc. that's on the there and then, a soft brush/mop to scrub it off (with plenty of water) so there's no damage to the paint, then, a good rinse. I don't mind evaluating, testing and using new products if, they fit the bill but, cleaning a dirty motor home with less than soap and water, just won't happen on mine. Sorry.Scott
