I don't know what you should use but you should NOT use flitz You will scratch the .... out of it even though they say it can be used on plastics.

I learned the hard way.

Did a good job on my bug gaurd for my 97 exploder. Use both the cleaner and the polish. The detailer is for after you have done the job. Works on Headlights, turn signals...and anything that is clear plastic.
