Targa top cleaner
Hi all,
I did a thread search and couldn't find what people use for cleaners on their targa tops. I have some small areas that appears to be tree sap(?). Any product recommendations that would remove this and won't hurt the vinyl? ![]()

I would try Goo Gone
For my regular cleaning I use Mothers Back-to Black

I wash mine with car wash soap and treat with a vinyl protectorant.

Rejuvenate restore wipes or use their cleaners and conditioner. Use it in a well ventilated area.

Vinylex cleans and protects. I also use on the interior vinyl.

Thanks for the recommendations - I may have to try a couple and experiment.
I've washed the top a couple of times with car soap, but it won't remove the stains. I've also sprayed with Armor All just as a sealer.

Hand Sanitizer is great for removing tree sap..then Aerospace 303 for appearance And protection

Targe Top Cleaning
Besides of making your tyres Black,
The meguiar's tyre gel does a great job on all Black surfaces.(vinyl, leather, rubber, plastic, etc...) Apply it on black items, on dashboard, and sides inside or outside the car, it will give a dark and protective shine for a long time. It has a great smell and applies well with a sponge (or special meguiar's tyre gel sponge) Do not treatt your vinyl seats , as it leaves a protective oil finish that could ruin your clothes, but serves as a water reppellent on your Targa roof.
