Concentrated car shampoo, pour onto a damp cloth and use directly on
the roof.

Alternativly, go to a caravan place and ask for something for cleaning
caravan roofs, caravans tend to suffer from crap from trees as they're
parked up 50 weeks a year.

Wrong group this isn't uk.d-i-y.  B-)

I'd just use a strong warm washing up liquid solution (couple of squirts
to the bucket) liberally apply with a car brush, leave for a few minutes,
then use the brush again on the subborn bits and rinse off well.

The biggest problem is reaching the center of the roof, maybe a stick type
window cleaning impliment. Use one of them to clear the snow off
windows.lights and windscreen.

Anything soapy  or gentle detergent. If from Lime trees, it's quite
sugary, hence the stickiness. I'd let whatever you use soak in, then a
_gentle_ blast with warm water running through the jetwash.
