Angry Convertible top cleaning

Hey guy's I recently had to park my car under the worlds most evil tree for a couple of days, When it came time to drive it pink pedals and sap covered the entire rear end of the car. I had to vacuum the outside of the car to remove them, Thankfully they all came off but the ones that landed on the convertible top stained it. I'm seconds away from scrubbing it to death with one of those hand wash brushes. If you guys have any hidden remedy's to remove it lmk thanks

With sap it's a bear to say the least. I have had pine sap drip on my car while on vacation once. I used full strength Meguiars liquid car wash soap with no dilution. It worked well but I did have the RAGGTOPP protectant on to start with. If your top is a bit dirty the full strength applied might clean the spots too well and you will have to do the entire top so it won't look spotted. Good luck!
