If this was on the paint, then the solution is easy (actitone), but the fabric top may discolor (or worse) if anything is used that can dissolve the house paint. Have you posted this in the care and cleaning sub-forum? Some of those guys know stuff that amazes me regularly.
Do you have a steamer/cleaner (not a carpet/upholstery vacuum extractor). Approaching in and heating it up from underneath may allow you to lift off the paint, because it is essentially plastic at this point.
Good luck!

I used a product called Goof Off when I drove through some paint. Didn't notice it for a few days.
Worked great on the body, didn't hurt the paint..Got it at the local hardware store..
Try a small spot first.

This is on a convertible top, not body paint.

2019 Vert top replacement
A detailer used a steamer on my top to remove creases and this is the result. Wont wash out. Possibly discoloration or canvas damage. Will replace if unable to correct. Cost of a new top 19 ZO6??

I was pricing garment steamers and reading about wrinkles.Was gonna ask the dealer about it and what They suggest? I posted about this not to far back here.
May try a warranty but they probably suggest chasing detailer.
Or I would say you were just washing it..Then WTF
You ain't got to many options which Sucks.

My suggestion, mild soap, warm water, and a fine bristle brush. Scrub it easily all the while hoping that it will level the color out. As JJ above pondered, it could be the guy didn't get all the dirt out. Good luck, I know you don't want to have the top replaced. I had that done on a C6......the installer dropped the framework on the tonneau cover. That wasn't pretty.

It’s my understanding that the alarm won’t be activated unless the windows are up. This is the same for the coupe Try it and les us know.
