Don't use anything with ammonia in it. Car wash soap and water. You can wax it.

Your safest bet is to wash the top with the same car wash stuff you use to wash your car. Treat it like paint (including a protective wax/polish) and it will be happy. There is a new Windex that does not contain ammonia, but I would still shy away from anything that is for glass cleaning.

I don't know if it's best, but I use Plexus, a plastic polish that I use on my GSXR.

The top is actually Lexan, not glass. Stoner's is for all glass and plastic surfaces. It does not have ammonia which can discolor tint.

Too bad the top is not glass. It is Lexan, Plexus is made to clean Lexan, i like it much better then Stoner's, and i have used both.

Do NOT use Windex! It might be ok to try clay bar to remove the sap.
