Mine does the same thing. Next spring I will re-coat the roof. This should stop it.

Wash with suggested cleaner, rinse with LOTS of water, treat with UV protectant.

What is everyone using to clean the roof.. I rinse mine off with the car wash brush attached to the garden hose and then I get all the white stuff running down the sides of my RV and then I have to wash it down to get the streaks off.. :-(
