I cleaned this roof using the method I used in my previous post on Oct 24..Gary

A lot of elbow grease👍👏

Yes but not to much effort all at once,this is the second one I've done recently,my own and my cousin's,on my own I split the roof into four separate sections on his into eight,due to the different size of roofs,this I found the easiest,I used a soft nylon sweeping brush and a light pressure after applying blaze cleaning fluid,then hosed it of,until a decent finish,,the power washer stayed in the shed.

Looks stunning what a great job you have done

Looks fantastic but I don’t think I’ve seen one so bad. Mine would go October to end of March unwashed but I did use Fenwicks Overwintering fluid.

What causes yours to degrade that badly?

Another one for Fenwicks Overwintering keeps it very clean until washing in the Spring using Fenwicks Caravan Cleaner. Caravan is kept at home and used each month and on return home always give it a wash down with hose using the water only. Then end of November a good wash with Fenwicks first and then use the Overwinter again.

We used ours during winter and the overwintering seemed to attract road muck, but I didn’t wash it, so by Spring it could look pretty grubby. But as you say Fenwicks cleaner would bring it up looking good again.

I find the hardest part of roof cleaning is the build up of lichens which need a lot of elbow grease. This year I finished off with Greased Lightning two in one cleaner and polish. Then sprayed over with Fenwicks as said by Clive and Birdman. Half done below

I have booked our caravan with a local valeter who specialises in caravans, says it will be an all day job , just for the outside, and charges by the hour, cam highly recommended, will report back once it's been done
