Test first but Bestine is made specifically for removing the residue that tape leaves behind. I've used it on lots of different materials but never a canopy. However, I do not think it would do any harm.

Add "Goof Off Pro" to the list.... That stuff is amazing. Paint clean up, sticky residue and those types of job its really great. They have a CA remover that works great also for cleaning up CA troubles.
I use the Goof Off Pro for cleaning up airbrushes and it doesn't effect the rubber seals....
You usually find it in the paint section of Home Depot, Lowe's, Menard's etc.

My favorite is good old Ronsonol lighter fluid. It's nothing but naptha. Do a search on Ronsonol lighter fluid and Wikipedia will redirect you to naptha.
Naptha has been around for ages, it's dirt cheap, removes all types of goo, hurts almost nothing and a can of it lasts for years. Well, if you're not a smoker!

I use WD and/or debonder. Debonder works great on Monokote to remove CA, but depending on paint type might make a mess. Be careful. WD is safe for sure. Use a soft rag, not a paper towel.

I use naptha, too. I used to use it for lighter fluid, back when I smoked.

Mineral spirits is what I've always used. Readily available at any hardware store. Moisten a soft cloth and rub. After residue is removed,,clean the canopy with mild soap and water. The mineral spirits will leave an oily film otherwise.
see you soon,
