Window cleaner will work fine. Really any cleaner is fine so long as the surface is dry when you spray the plastidip.

Plastidip is VERY forgiving. If any extra gets on your paint, you can just peel it off. It won't hurt anything as it is just a rubber coating and not actual paint.

The front emblem actually pops off from inside the grill. 4 "tabs" hold it in place. The rear you will need to tape though.

I plasti dipped my entire grille and rear emblem. Looked great. Whatever over spray is there rubs right off.

I didn't get as much orange peel but with plasti-dip you will get some texture as it is plastic not paint
