What should you use to clean a resin RV roof before repairs?

Why thorough cleaning matters before roof repairs

Any remaining grease, silicone, or old adhesive on your RV’s resin roof can prevent repair materials from bonding securely. If these contaminants are left behind, repairs may not adhere well and could fail over time. Ensuring the roof is properly cleaned reduces the risk of further damage and helps your new resin or fibreglass finish set firmly in place.

Choosing the right cleaner for resin roofs

For safe and effective cleaning, opt for a technical degreaser developed specifically for resin projects. A Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects made from natural, solvent-free ingredients provides a good balance of power and gentleness, removing a range of contaminants like oils, silicone, and adhesives while protecting your roof surface from damage. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade resin or leave behind residues that might interfere with your repairs.

How to clean your resin RV roof before repair

• Start by removing any loose debris or flaking resin manually, using a Heavy Duty Scraper if needed to clear away stubborn areas.
• Apply a dedicated resin degreaser to the targeted area. Work in sections using a clean, lint-free cloth or sponge.
• Gently scrub to lift away all contaminants, then wipe clean with a fresh, damp cloth and allow the area to dry fully before proceeding with repair materials such as a Resin Fibreglass Repair Kit.
