Hot water will not dissolve this material. There is a gum resin in Pine Sap that will attack the paint finish if left on too long. As far as using it on the top, I would try a small section first and let it dry. IF it leaves a ring, just use the solvent on a rag and spread it out over a larger area. I don't know how many of these you have on your roof, but using it over the entire top may be the best way to avoid spots.
If it has been on there for a long time, it will have bonded with the material and using a tooth brush should help scrub it out.
One more idea is to call a place that does convertible tops and ask them what they use.
