"Car wash brush, soap, water" -- do you mean using car wash soap also? I've always heard to keep car wash soap products away from camper roofs due to the petroleum products in them (distillates or something like that).
The car wash soap that I use does not contain petroleum distillates. However I think the concern comes from products that are applied to the roof and allowed to rest for extended periods of times like spray on cleaners and conditioners. They soak into the membrane where the petroleum distillates sit and do damage. I don't think that would be a problem for car wash solutions since you're normally diluting them in lots of water, applying the solution to a wet roof, and washing it away immediately.
