The coating wears enough after a few years to need a cleaning and recoating. I also get up on the roof periodically and hose the dirt off. I have the same attachment for my pressure washer, I might give it a try next time I recoat it, although warm water with Dove, a scrub brush and rinse off has worked fine in the past.
Good to know, Marv. That little surface cleaner device is fantastic so for sure, give her a try next time.

I got my first 5 gallons of coating down - using a roller. It's not going as far as I thought but if it helps do a better job then I'm OK with it. Will pick up another bucket from Lowes tomorrow and try to finish before we get rain again.

Thought I'd get the perimeter done first and then work my way inside. Might try a longer nap roller this next go around.
