That is the only "stuff" I use on my trailer roof. Others WILL chime in with all the various (much cheaper) household products they use. For me, I use only the rubber roof cleaner and conditioner. That conditioner takes a very rough feeling, and dry feeling rubber roof, and makes it simply slick as ice! The texture and feel before and after is different as night and day. I'm a firm believer in using the product made for the product intended. A little more expensive? Yes. For me, it's worth it.
By the way.... when you apply the conditioner? Pour a little on the roof and then spread it with a window squeegee. First, it spreads a lot farther than with just a rag, and you don't need a heavy layer. the squeegee will leave a nice thin layer of the conditioner. It will dry faster, and will still reach all the pours of the rubber membrane, sealing them up ... thus giving that baby butt smooth finished texture. If your roof is bowed like mine, you can still do it. Just pour smaller amounts and spread faster, and keep the squeegee down hill of the conditioner as it runs, spreading it. So... small amounts at a time... very small if your roof is bowed.
