Windex on the parking pad and the paper towel under the print heads tips should all work fine with Lyson. Lyson makes their own cleaning carts, but you can use any brand. If some of the standard tricks don't work fairly quickly, I would leave the cleaning carts in and in addition to daily windex, run a couple of purge patterns each day till it clears. I've only tried Lysonic for a brief time, so I'm not sure about it's propensity to clog, but I've been using Lyson Small Gamut inks for more than a year and they seem to be very clog free...I would imagine the carts sat in the printer for some long time. What you are trying to do is get liquid to the clog and dissolve it, so you may have to be quite patient...but it should eventually clear.
