I would stay away from the auto car washes unless totally necessary.I drove though one with my 97 Wranger with soft top. It was fine.
Make sure it's a touchless one.

For what reason(s)? Modern softcloth washes are engineered to clean modern paints and finishes without damage. Google-search “automatic car wash” and read up on the newest technologies and cleaning agents then find a company in your area that uses them.I would stay away from the auto car washes unless totally necessary.
As a former car wash owner, I have to tell you. Car washes use recycled water for the wash. Only clean water used straight from the water supply is the rinse water. Personally I would never take one of my vehicles through an automated wash, I don't care how much they tout the technology. It's all a bunch of half truths and hyperbole.For what reason(s)?

I would worry about using cleaners designed for paint on the vert top. That is the point of the whole thread. The top needs a more gentle approach.For what reason(s)?

At my wife’s suggestion, I stopped using Meguirs Car Wash for the top and tried her “Woolite Color Renew” in the BLACK container. It is used for colors so that they don’t fade.
I liked the results and will now be using it in the future for the top.
Thanks

Not sure if this would work on a convertible top, but I was told that if you get a drop of tree sap on your paint, just grab an ice qube from your refrigerator and hold it down on the tree sap for a minute or two. The sap will harden up and you should be able to flick it off with your finger. I've never tried this before. It sounds like your tree sap has been worked into the fabric of your top so I don't know if this will work.Any of you guys have suggestion for removing tree sap? I have a small pea sized spot thats being stubborn. Been working it with a bristle brush and 303 to this point.
