Hi, Greg! I don't know what "canvas wax" or other related products are, or what the the top on your 68B is made from...however, I used to own an auto upholstery business where we did hundreds of convertible top replacements each year. The only product we used and recommended to restore the repellant properties of a cloth top is 303 Fabric Guard. It's a product approved and recommended by Sunbrella and other commercial fabrics, and it always worked well for us. If you decide to use it, I'd try a little on a hidden spot first to make sure that there's no discoloration, and read and follow the directions exactly. It worked great on all sorts of tops, outdoor covers, boat canvas, etc. Hope this helps! --Don
