Why not? Wax is just wax and will not hurt or change the molecular structure of plastic. I say go for it.

Waxing is fine. It's painting poly-carbonate lids which is a no no :thumbup:
A good squirt of Pledge is great for making the rain sheet off the visor too :D

I use wax on the visor as it helps the rain bead off
