Default lithium grease on my soft top

I got some lithium grease spray on parts of my soft top (interior side of it). what can i do to remove it? theres whites spots everywhere.

also can i just use an interior leather cleaner to polish some of the lithium grease off my seats as well?

you might need an all purpose cleaner for the top... but i would first try vinylex- if that doesnt get it, then the aio- finish up with a good vinyl product (vinylex, 303, raggtopp for vinyl, etc.)
for the leather, a good quality leather cleaner should do the trick. be sure to follow that up with a good leather preservative (townsends is my fav, and lexol is good too)-

by the way- on the inside of the top be sure to try a small area first with each product before doing the whole thing... you can see how it works and make sure it doesnt make it worse.

If the above suggestion doesn't work for removing the grease from your softtop, I would use a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water to remove the grease. Spray a small amount onto the area, and agitate with a brush (toothbrush will work). This has been the only thing that's worked for me when removing stubborn polish splatter from my softtop

It's a necessity... I have too much experience with getting Optimum Polish splattered onto my softtop... this is the only way I've been able to get it off Surprisingly, even 303 Convertible Top Cleaner couldn't touch it...
