Default Wax Stains on roadster Top

Anybody know how to remove white wax stains from roadster top?
Stubborn stains just won't go away.
Thanks!

You may want to try using dawn disk washing soap strait on the stain area and rub with wash mit or soft scrub brush. DO NOT USE A HARD BRUSH YOU WILL FRAY THE TOP FIBERS. Dawn cuts wax grease etc so unless you want to repolish the entire car only do this on the top. Try it a couple of times then condition the top should cut it down quiet a bit if not eliminate it all together.

BTW you may also want to send an email off to Zaino or call for advice (see link below) and last suggestion do a google search for soft top cleaners a lot of cleaners and restoration products on the market.

The first time I waxed (Zymol) my roadster I got some wax on the top too. It eventually came off with normal washing and a little scrubbing with soft brush.

Now I'm careful not to get any of the stuff on the top. I also use Rag Top protector and it seems to repel any foreign substances. I recommend it.

I didn't do anything special and it came out after several car washes. I saw somebody on the forum use a toothbrush with great success.

If you wax it with the top up don't you miss the tonneau?
