What do you guys recommend for wiping down the plastic headlights? Apparently Invisible Glass isn't recommended, and I'm guessing anything amonia related would be bad bad bad. Simple green? Soap

Headlight spray cleaner
What do you guys recommend for wiping down the plastic headlights?
Apparently Invisible Glass isn't recommended, and I'm guessing anything amonia related would be bad bad bad. Simple green? Soap and water? Is there a product specfically for headlights? Google points to dozens of buffing compunds but no clear winners for a simple cleaning.

Meguiar's UQD (Ultimate Quik Detailer) works real well. Works on windows as well. Stuff is the bomb!

Soap and water for general cleaning, detail spray or waterless wash for in between clean up, and you can use our Clear Polish for correcting any light haze or yellowing.

It won't leave any residue or haziness if you wipe it off good. I like using it on everything for the hydrophobic polymer technology (TM).

No matter what I use to wipe it off, I always have swirl marks, and residue.

Wash your headlamps first. If you notice any hazing and/or yellowing, use Adam's Swirl & Haze Remover Polish. If the plastics are in good condition, use Plexus to maintain them. I usually spray into the microfiber cloth then work it onto the plastic to avoid overspray on paint panels.
