Which de-icing fluid type for light aircraft?

I know generally that the best stuff to use is the Kilfrost product designed for light aircraft but lets say one is away from one's home airfield and you need to be de-iced; the aircraft is quite large and the accumulations are too much to simply brush or scrape it off, is is safe to use a commercial aircraft deicer on a light aircraft (thinking of the perspex for example) and if so which type is most suitable (I know there are types I-IV)?
