· Step 3: Clean the RV roof to remove any dirt, debris and loose material.
· Step 4: In a large bucket mix one-part chlorine with three parts water. Use this mixture to clean the RV roof from oil, grease and other stiff residues.
· Step 5: Use a garden hose to power-wash the roof and allow the roof to dry.
· Step 6: With the help of stiff brush apply patching cement to any seams and screw heads on the roof. Patching cement should extend 1 inch beyond all seams and edges.
· Step 7: Allow the patching cement to dry.
· Step 8: Open and stir the roof coating.
