I have about 5-6 spots in my black fabric convertible top. Otherwise the top is in great condition (garage queen). I am afraid to use anything harsh to try to remove. They seem to be in the fabric and also sap-like. Any suggestions?

I haven't had any real stains to work on ... but I use "Amazing Roll-Off" as a cleaner and it hasn't hurt the fabric.

My wife grabbed it as a stain remover for the laundry room so it may work for you.

Thanks 98TripleWhiteWS6Vert,
I looked into the Raggtop cleaner but I have several stubborn and neglected spots. The remained of the top is like new (no sun fadeing, stitching still grey,water repellancy- good
garage queen 7 years old 42k miles). I think the stains originated from the garage door opener chain lube.
I do not envy the work it must require to keep that beautiful WS6 with a ultra white top clean. Can't be a daily driver!!!

The guy who makes Zaino suggested Softscrub and a soft brush.

Hi PoSSum,
I tried the Amazing Roll-Off. It worked beautifully. I did have to use a gently haired tooth brush but this product cleans very well and did not seem to remove the water repellancy. Thanks for the tip.

I drive it every day and take my son to daycare in it. The car seat is a tight fit and I have to run the power seat back and forth to get in the backseat. It's all worth it. I race it once a month. The top and white leather are a biatch to keep clean.

Do you have the baby seat made by Simpson?
