I use something called Sparkle. Google "sparkle glass cleaner." I use it for the headlight lens, clear inlay over the speedometer, plasma tv and computer monitor. It was used in WWII to clean the bomb sights.

Water or glass cleaner or detail spray and a quality microfiber towel.

In my experience, unless you plan to seal your 'Vette in a bubble, eventually you're going to get some scratches in the plastic lenses. Just know that Zaino plastic polish is an excellent product

What I usually do to clean the lenses is spray them with a small amount of Invisible Glass or Sprayway, then use one side of the MF towel to get the product off and buff dry with the other side of the towel. Same procedure I use for cleaning glass (I just use more product there).

I don't remember off the top of my head, it was a while ago, but I believe I just wet a microfiber towel with a little tap water and juts gently wiped the screen down.

I use Z6 and a good micro fiber. Any QD should work.

For computer screens and such (especially the matte finish ones) I have found nothing works better than Endust for Electronics. It is oil, wax and ammonia free. It is also anti-static and never streaks. Use it with a clean MF cloth and you'll be in business.

Default I use those little PC screen cleaners...

They come in a two pack - part one is the wet towel, part two the dry towel. They work Great! Also - driving home today, reminding myself I really needed to clean the inside of the windsheild when I got home, I figured I'd give those towels a try. Perfectly clean inside windshield!
