i got some wax stain on my soft top, and it just won't go away even after a million car washes. can anyone tell me how to get rid of this stain? (i've tried gasoline too...didn't work too well.)

peanut butter - really!! once the wax is removed put a nice coat of 303 on your top

bass is right on...
my only other suggestions:

make sure you do this in a warm place (one of the only times you would do a detail step in full sun)- you want the stain warm and the pbutter warm too, for best results (or at least to make it easier to remove).
i would follow the pbutter step with a good top cleaner before the 303-
this is an example of a good cleaner (raggtopp):

peanut butter?????? really

Yes it works but make sure it is the ALL NATURAL kind. It seems the oil from the all natural kind breaks down the wax or something like that . I have used it to get wax off of the black trim on my Civic but never tried it on the S softtop. It should work though .

i haven't tried it yet, but thanks everyone for the tips!

My guess is the fat in the peanut butter extracts the wax out of the top. Like likes like; that is why oil & water don't mix.
