Never could figure why a sparkling white roof was so important.
If it doesn't leak, it's doing its job.
The cleaner the roof, the less black streaking there is on the sides of the trailer. Rain gutters are really very tiny in diameter and water splashes over them real easy, not to mention leaking through seams. Water running over the roof will drag dirt with it, causing streaking.
And just because you are not parked under trees and such, there is enough pollution in the air, that when it rains, all the settles on the roof. Next rain, it streaks. (I think in days gone by, it was called "acid rain.") There's a reason why we do not catch rain water and drink it direct any more you know!
