Roof cleaner& conditioner

It's so funny you just posted this. I just finished my roof this morning. I went to Camping World and one bottle of Protect All Rubber Roof Cleaner, and one bottle of Protect All Rubber Roof Treatment. They worked beyond all expectations.

My roof was stained with bird droppings and other grime. I'd washed it several times with RV detergent, but the roof still looked really bad. The products I listed above worked great! I used the cleaner twice, and it completely took away all the dirt. Then I put one coat of the treatment on. The roof literally looks brand new.

If you use it, follow the directions exactly as they are listed on the bottles. Make sure you change the rinse water frequently and don't slop it over the sides or you might get streaks.

Janice, can you please specify what kind of mild detergent? We have PDI scheduled for this saturday for our 29RS and would like to keep our roofing material clean and healthy! Mild detergent just seems a pretty broad assumption for us consumers!

Hi Bruce & Terry,

Dawn mild dish soap seems to be the most effective.

After cleaning is there a uv protection that should be applied. If so any special kind?

The roofing material is made of EPDM rubber and already has excellent UV radiation resistance. Roof conditioners do little to extend the life of the material and most of them make the roof surface very slippery.
 
@ Janice,

Our roof has workboot prints (mostly around the AC) which seem to have been put there when the roof covering material was soft. Is this something that we should be concerned about ?

Rob, mine was the same and also still had lots of bubbles in it. Some seem to have dissipated but I'm watching it closely. I'll be eager to hear Janice's view point.
 
I used the Protect All rubber roof cleaner on our old 5th wheel every few years when soap and water just wasn't getting it done any more. It worked quite well. Have never bothered with conditioners.

In the first few months of ownership, my 337 had several (LOTS of) air bubbles on the roof. They seemed to be most prominent & numerous when it was parked in the direct sun in warm weather. I would look at it on another day and there were not as many. I had my dealer note it and am keeping an eye on it.

There were also footprints on the roof, some of them mine when I did the PDI, but they have worn off over time.

I had a couple of bubbles on my old (2006) Cougar, but there were no tears or leaks. I suspect what we are seeing is just some expansion and contraction of the rubber roofing material. Am still keeping an eye on it.

I had quite a few prints on mine also, but after a year, they are mostly gone.
