There are so many warnings about using the proper wax on the ZR1! Is there anyone who has experience about the Plexus plastic cleaner protectant & polish? Thank you for your help.

drglennb - I use Mothers, Meguiar's and Turtle Wax quick detailer, but then again I don't have a ZR1 or c/f(carbon fiber) panels.What do you use for protection/shine?
This week I did some research on this issue.
While the TSB posted by "6 Shooter" was issued by GM, it came out more than a year ago, just before the new ZR1 went on sale. At the time, GM had a problem with the carbon fiber panels on some early units. In fact, GM had discussions with a the car care product manufacturer "C-Magic" about making a special run of black-dyed wax just for ZR1s. At the same time, GM was "encouraging" the supplier of the CF panels to change its paint and finishing processes to eliminate the "pinhole issue" which is referenced in the TSB. That effort eventually paid off with a solution. While, problem covered in the above TSB no longer exists and only affected some prototype cars, GM has stated it's not going to issue a new TSB correcting the earlier bulletin. C-Magic never went past the testing stage (it worked great, BTW) with it's "black wax" and once the CF pinhole problem was solved there was no longer a need for such a product.
My advice to ZR1 owners is to use the same high-end car care products that the National Corvette Museum uses on all museum delivery cars, be they base, Grand Sport, Z06 or ZR1. That product is C-Magic. There are several 3rd gen ZR1 owners who already use it and I use it on my 2nd gen ZR-1 and, in fact, I use C-Magic on all my cars. See: C-MagicWax.Com
