This is exactly correct. The EPDM roofing material "sheds" as it is exposed to UV light. That material "shed" from the roof actually shields the remaining material from the UV light and prolongs the life of the roof. EPDM roofing material is widely used in commercial applications, primarily on flat roofs such as warehouses and factories, and those roofs are never washed and coated with a "protectant".

CW told me that if I don't get up there once a year it voids the roof warranty. So, I have to clean it and treat it every year to maintain the ten year roof warranty. And, I have to document that with receipts etc.. Based on what the guy that gave us the walk-around was saying I have little to no confidence that the warranties will be honored without lots of fussing and fighting if I need it in a few years.

if I don't get mine a couple times a year, I start getting all kinds of black stuff streaking from the roof and down the sides.

But they got so many questions from RVers on how to wash their roofs, that they saw a buck to be made. They started making roof cleaning products, and now recommend frequent washing.
