When we washed the roof of the coach prior to this trip, we saw for the first time milky white streaks down the sides of the coach. I asked the service tech to look at the roof and he reported that it was "oxidation" he'd seen on the roof of many coaches. If you rub the roof when it's dry, it leaves a white power-like residue on your hand.
Today I washed the roof with just plain water and a soft brush and from the photo you can see the milky pools of water under the coach. Also attached is a photo of a milky streak on the side of the coach.
The roof is white and very shiny. Although it's fiberglass, it doesn't appear to be gelcoat. What is typically used on the roof of a modern coach? If it was gelcoat, the only way I know to prevent oxidation is to apply a good coat of carnuba wax, but it wouldn't be safe to walk up there.
Any ideas?
TIA
