Thought I would post back here one more time.
After sitting under all those trees for a month with leaves collecting up there and staining, this is what my roof looks like after I cleaned it when we got home. I didn't spend much time at it as I should have. Some of the stains are still evident.

It looks like you did a pretty good job to me Lloyd. I am doing a final fall cleaning and winterization on ours this week then into the shed it goes for winter.

I find that when I clean, there is some discoloration under the dirty spots. However, there is no need to get too aggressive trying to remove them. After a day uncovered, in the sun, the roof seems to come back to normal and bright.
Has anyone else experienced this?

We use a liquid all-purpose cleaner. Spic and Span powder was recommended to us, but we cannot seem to find it in the stores.

Amazon carries it and if you're ever around any Amish community they tend to carry it in there general stores.

Lloyd introduced me to Solvit 4years ago. I store outside so not quite as nice as Loyds but close.
Great versatile product

Spic N Span removes wax, so I would not use it on the roof if you are not going to rewax the sides again.

Thought I would scrub off the bulk of the grime with Dawn detergent and hot water... I scrubbed my butt off. Then applied B.E.S.T., it came even cleaner. I then skipped using the Dawn for the next section and B.E.S.T. worked great. I still scrubbed with a nylon brush, but it came cleaner with one step.
