Best awning SAP cleaner?

Search gave me zip.
Tired of hearing that duct tape off the roll sound when opening my awing.
So, what's the best way to get sap off an awning without damage?

  • Mineral Spirits or denatured alchol, neither will affect the vinyl.....I tape a terry towel to a broom handle to reach the top side. Do not use thinner or laquer thinner.
  • Try a little butter. It works pretty well to get pine pitch off of one's hands.
  • Might dry "goof off" on a small section to make sure it doesn't discolor it before using it on a large area.
  • I've used rubbing alcohol to remove it from my truck followed by some wax. Try a small spot somewhere on the awning to make sure it does not fade the fabric.
