What about some of the GRP restoring products they use in the marine sector?

It's a painted aluminium roof.

Well then, put down the Mariokart and get some spit and polish on it  :P

 :D
Science Abuse on the telly has a good set of ideas  ;D ;D
Seriously though, long arms, a high platform and loads of elbow grease. Once the roof gets sun damage it is virtually impossble to get back to its shiny state. If you do manage to get the shine back give it a good few coats of polyurethane yaght varnish and your worries should be over.

My act is
Will have to remove winter cover(cheap version from Towsure)very good used them for the past 4yrs
Pair of old fashioned ellivateing trestles+pair of rigid planks+telescopic handled wash brush
1st wash with Fenwicks caravan cleaner
Rinse very well & allow to dry
Then wash with double strength Auto glym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner
Give a soft light rinse
Wind up jockey wheel to tilt roof to assist water drain from roof depressions
Look around and use 2 Finger Signal to anti caravan observers ;D ;D ;D
