Help- I have tree sap on the soft top and clear plastic

I need help!

I found tree sap all over my car when I parked it under a tree (no choice on a residential area). The tree sap is on the soft top, as well as on the clear plastic (rear window) area.

How and what should I use to clean the sticky off the top? and the clear plastic without scratching it?

Please Help.

I used the 303 Fabric cleaner and a Boar's hair brush on my cloth top. For the window, use Meguair's 10 vinyl polish. Don't use the brush on the window.

You can get the 303 here -> http://www.topoftheline.com/303fabcontop.html

Some auto parts stores also carry the stuff in stock.

I buy most of my detailing supplies at topoftheline. Fast service, good prices, family owned. I called to get some info and the owner picked up the phone. She was very knowledgable and helpful.

Use Meguairs product. It is excellent.

I'm a Hindsight fan, works a treat for removing light scratches and yellow rear windows.
