the title and description says it all. how do i remove tree sap from my S2K's convertible top without ruining its "waterproofness?" i usually use mayonnaise to remove sap from hands, clothes, etc., but i didn't want to do this unless i can be fairly certain that it won't damage the top in any way. any help appreciated. (and next time i won't park under that tree!)

 

You need to put this in wash and wax. There has been several threads on this.
wanabe will know.

 

The top if vinyl, so you wont affect "waterproofness". Just use any cleaner made for vinyl. I use 303 top cleaner and protect it with 303 protectant.

 

Wash and Wax Forum,for best advices.

 

on the way there now.

 

Never really tried this on a vinyl top, but I use WD-40 on paint to take sap off. I think you could try it; spray the WD40 on, rub the sap off with a towel, then follow up with Raggtop, or whatever vinyl top protectant you have.

 

i had success cleaning in small areas, using really hot water, soaking it, then using soap, then 303 cleaner, then re-rinse.. and a lot of elbow grease

i would not recommend using different products as the mix of chemicals are never a good idea on the soft tops.. they tend to stain and do damage to the vinyl tops after its all dried..
