One photo, two beautiful sights
Last Sunday I washed the roof on my Outlaw motorhome, and started applying a coat of Aerospace 303 UV protectant. I was finally able to finish it tonite and took a photo showing my freshly beautified roof and a beautiful Arizona pre-sunset sky.

Nice! That's a sunset perspective one usually doesn't see. Roof looks good too.

Looks very nice. I need to get up there and wash mine.
What kind of soap do you use??
And, did you spray the 303 all over it or is there a 303 soap??
Good job.
Thank you.

Thanks, guys.
Edge, I use the Murphy's oil soap in a bucket of water and a long handle brush that I have for washing the exterior walls. That soap is pretty mild, but it's what is recommended for the TPO roof material. Then I use the 303 in a spray bottle. Just spray it directly on the roof and all the fixtures up there (in small sections) and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.
I wear only socks on my feet when applying the 303 to help keep the roof from getting marked up. The 303 makes the roof quite slippery. That is a challenge on the Outlaw because the front 2/3s of the roof is pitched forward. So I stay mostly in a seated position when I do this. I have no desire to go "skiing" off the front end

Murphy's was what Newmar recommended for our DSDP and it's BriteTek roof.
Present rig has a fiberglass roof so I just use a normal hard surface cleaner, let dry, spray on 303 and spread with a Dollar Tree mop. Throw the mop away when done.

Yes, the only thing I don't like about the 303 is the directions say to re-apply every 3 months. Does that mean the UV protection only lasts that long? Or is that just a ploy to get you to use more product? It is a big job, so I can only do this once or twice a year, and it has been over a year this time because I had a couple of shoulder surgeries performed. But now I have a garage to store the coach in, so the cleaning job is much easier.
I also use the 303 on the decals, but some of those are beyond help. I bet if the 303 was used on a new coach decals from day one, it would make a big difference in the decal lifespan.

Try barefoot. Gets a lot more traction[emoji41] Great job on cleaning your roof!

RE: 303, I am also thinking about using it on the graphics on our rig, I wonder if anyone would have any additional comments about the effectiveness of 303 on decals. I also have thought about using it on the vinyl portion of the dash covering, any thoughts from anyone?
