Easiest Spray on Roof Wax?
I washed my fiberglass roof and it killed my back. What can I spray on and spread with a sponge mop and be done with it?

I have used RainX spray wax and really like it. The water beads up and runs off. I did it a year ago and it is still looking good. Nothing seems to stick to it.
You spray it on and wipe it around until dry. You do not have to clean it before
application, however, I did.

nobody climbs up to inspect the color on your roof.

Zeps seems to stop the chalking but it does not stop the dust build up that run down the sides with moisture.

Bob I agree the old fashion way is good but I cant find a kid that will work, used to make my kids to things like that but they moved out.

There is a product called roof armor it's a ceramic coating. I am having it applied in a few weeks. It's not that expensive it's a few hundred dollars to do the roof on a 45'.
What I do to clean it up to now is a pressure washer. I have an electric one that I travel with. No scrubbing needed, just use the widest angle nozzle.

Any liquid floor wax will do the job - pour and mop it on (just like on a floor). It may only last 3 months, but re-waxing it is quick & easy.

This may work but 303 from my understanding will simply wash off or disappear in a short amount of time on hard surfaces. I believe it is best intended to use on rubber and vinyl and other soft absorbent materials. I use this often for tires and a/c shrouds etc. but not on the fiberglass.
I used ZEP once and never again would I do so. It started to peel in spots and looked crappy and most likely did not work once it started to peel. I did not want to get up there and strip it all off either.
