Default Sap!!!

Ok, getting ready to swap tops for the winter and I was planning on cleaning my soft top before storing it but I'm having a problem trying to get some tree sap off first. I've tried bug and tar remover but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Never thought of that, any special ways that you apply it? Or things to look out for?

You can use denatured alcohol, mineral spirits or WD-40.

I guess my only worry is staining. Don't want to have a greasy mark that won't come out. A buddy of mine just told me to try rubbing a stick of butter on it.

I have used 3m adhesive remover and that has worked well. Lots of elbow grease though...
