Found the Plexus in Home Depot, but almost didn't--it was hidden near the plexiglass door section behind some old plexi doors.

Looks like it's safe for headlights. My local Zaino distributor says the Z-6 detail spray is also safe for headlights (haven't tried that).

So what works as a nice Plexus applicator that won't scratch the plastic? Cotton seems to be out because of the lint. And it says NO paper towels. Would a Handi-Wipe work? Newspaper?

Thanks, wanabe. I picked up some microfiber towels at Wal-Mart and will give them a try.

I wipe mine down sometimes with a MF damp with just water. I do have some meguiars plastic detailer, but haven't used it in a while.

Invisible Glass clearly states on the can not recommended for plastics that could be damaged by water or solvents. It also says not recommended for polycarbonate plastic, which I believe the head/taillights are made out of. (I have a can right in front of me)
