Each May I wash the fiberglass roof with soap and water then polish with an orbital using Mark V "banana wax" and then go back over with Maquires detailing wax. My rig is stored inside when not in use.

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.

I think it's probably fine for light soil levels, but for what I just cleaned off the roof of mine this past weekend, it would never have even touched it. I spent about 2 hours on my hands and knees with a rag scrubbing every inch of the roof to get the tree mildew off of it. I didn't realize how bad it had become until I got up there to clean out the ceiling vents of leaf debris that had sucked into them. And honestly, I could spend ANOTHER 2 hours up there doing the same thing before it's ready to wax.....but I simply gave out and made a promise to get up there another day. I might invest in a lightweight young person that wants to make $50....... 🙂
