have you ever tried a grit gun for paint removal?
might be a tad expensive for the roof but easier than rubbing all that area
just curious, thinking of trying that myself

Neat all purpose cleaner should shift that algae, failing that order some trash wash - slightly acidic stuff which they spray n lorry chassis to clean. I suspect the paint will be very thin / almost none existent after a clean up. Most of mine was bare slightly pitted metal. It was then etched, then water based primer followed by two pack top coat and looks new again.
If you haven't got one It might be worth buying a cheap dual action rotary sander and coarse pads - shifts paint quickly

pressure washing took all the algae off my roof along with a lot of paint, i guess from getting so much sun exposure

Nice job.
But why sand back to bare metal?
I just sand back existing paint, then prime/paint.

if you are sanding back top coat just to give a surface for the new paint to attach too, couldn't you just top coat it and not use primer, in the interests of my own idleness of course
more thinking of my s1 which is nato green but tatty, i just want to give it a quick once over.

Because the paint was sh*gged and was already bare metal in some places so i thought it would be easier to stip all paint off it
