re: plastic lenses:
Wife has them, does this all the time, with paper towels.
Maybe try it with a piece of Tshirt?

Eye Doc has always told me to use an old cotton T-shirt to clean my plastic lenses.
I did a paper-towel once and it really screwed 'em up...
This was several years ago, might be different today. I'm real careful about what I wipe my lenses with...

If you wear glasses, and NO I AM NOT KIDDING!!! THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!
spray each lens with a "dot" of Pledge on both sides, then start rubbing with a clean paper towel. The first time you do it, you will put too much on, start rubbing, then start cussing me for telling you to do this, what is wrong with me why did I listen to that idiot....because as you will find out IF you keep rubbing, you have NEVER had glasses that clean, EVER.
A biker friend got the tip from the girl who works in his eyedoctors office.
It REALLY WORKS, no kidding.
Trust me...(and weasle, note, none of that muwhaahahahahaha evil laugh you do.....lol)
RSDF Sounds like a good idea. But, I've got to think that it also depends on what type of lenses you have.
If you've got glass lenses, I wouldn't hesitate.
But, you know what a paper towel is gonna do to plastic lenses? Didn't seem to hurt mine. Really shined em up last nite w/ Pledge and the paper towel. Think I will use cotton rags from now on though......

Lots cheaper than any of the "Auto" waxes on the market. Paula normally picks it up at the 99-cent store...
Windex does a great job cleanin' up chrome too. Learned that when I was a kid with chrome wheels on my cars. If ya wanna use a polish on the chrome after that, go for it. I don't...
The orange scented Pledge can I have states on the can No Wax.. It does seem to shine up the paint though as well. Its a good thing, too much wax can build up over time.

And, if you spray it in the joints of your footpegs, you will not get that rust from vibration. Don't get it on the rubber part, it makes it slippery, but it works better than oil or grease, as it does not collect sand and dust.

Thats right good ole fashioned lemon or orange scent Pledge furniture polish works great- leaves high gloss shine, especially for fairings, and fiberglass bags... Even cleans off bugs on the windshield,ect.. Friend of mine told me about it. Its cheap too.
