I have a 2010 r172- I have been waxing etc and want to know where to begin cleaning the roof with rubber products vs waxing. I thought it would be obvious but not so. Also how do you clean the very top- reaching it  Thanks

Your Pod doesn't have a rubber roof.

To clean my room I climb the ladder and do all i can with my arms from all around the Pod and then have a brush on a stick for the rest.

I've gotten up on top of the roof to clean it and do other maintenance. However, if you're waxing or using soapy water up there you have to be very careful not to get too close to the front or rear. The front is especially dangerous. Sliding off and landing on top of your hitch, propane tank, and tongue jack might not be that pleasant.

I use an RV brush on a stick, from a ladder. There is no rubber roof, the pod has a one piece fiberglass roof.

Thank you all for the info- a one piece fiberglass roof- that's why I could not tell the difference. We do love it and are looking forward to several years of seeing America.
