I previously used a dilution of bleach which worked great but I recently waxed the exterior and don't really think it would be good to have a bleach solution running down the side. :/. Is there anything that will whiten the roof without harming the wax job?

Easiest is to simply use a mild detergent and a medium-stiff brush to scrub it. Now, if the roof is showing its age, the white coating may be flaking off to show the darker membrane.Lyle

I've heard Spic and Spam is suggested by the manufacturer and folks report it does a good job.

Keep the bleach off the roof. It will dry out the rubber before it's time. Just use a soft brush & mild soap that will not hurt the roof or your wax job. I get the logic. Any dirt on the roof goes down the side.

My roof is whiter than.... Who cares?

I use protect all rubber roof cleaner and it gets pretty white when I use it and then use protect all rubber roof protector after I clean it and it stays white for several months.
