i do it everywhere. actully the headlights especially..cause when i detail really crappy cars with cloudy lights it takes that crap off so.. id say clay as often as u want.. but remember every time u clay u strip the wax off of it so u gotta wax it after.. for silver id say jsut do it when the tar spots get really noticable
So youve done the headlights too? This website said dont do headlights but windows would be ok. Wouldnt they be too abrasive for plastic?
