On the paint you'll need to follow the B&T remover with wax. On the vinyl the B&T remover may leave a white residue. Just clean the area with an old tooth brush and vinyl cleaner. Then follow up with a good vinyl protectant.
If the sap is really stubborn and won't come off with the B&T remover then I would try WD-40, rubbing alcohol, or maybe peanut butter. However, I would start with the B&T remover.

Try putting her in a garage for the winter like every other new-englander ...
I can afford the S, but not a beater in addition to it. (not yet at least)

So I solved my sap problem. We cut the trees back that were hanging over the driveway! PROBLEM SOLVED!
I picked up the turtle wax bug, tar, sap remover. But then took it to the car wash first.
It was maple tree sap, so it came off in the car wash and out of the soft top.
WOOHOO!!
