Default help! got wax on the conv. top

I accidentally got a little bit of wax on the top. I tried using warm water and a rag, but it didn't come off. What should I do??

I used degreaser and hot water with a brush. Took a little rubbing, but it came out fine, just make sure you apply some top protectant over the spot you used the degreaser.

Try a toothbrush. That should get deep in the top.

I just used some BMW top cleaner (borrowed from sis), and let it sit for 3 minutes and used a sponge to rub on it and rinsed with plenty of water. No more stain! The down side is that you have to be really careful when using top cleaner because if it gets on the paint and dries up, it would damage the paint. make sure to rinse the car with plenty of water..
