I barely have room to put the jack under the plastic jack points...I wouldn't even be able to use the pucks. Do you have to drive on to some elevated piece of wood to use these pucks if you're in your garage?
You need a low profile jack in order to fit the puck and jack.

However, I’d rather use axle stands than just rely on the jack, but once jacked up using the plastic jack points, where do I put the axle stands without damaging anything?
I'd just jack it up using the other jacking point on the desired side of the car, then put the jack stand at the jack point closest to the wheel you're cleaning. In other words, if you're cleaning the left front, use your floor jack at the left rear until you have enough clearance for the jack stand at the front. These cars are rigid enough that lifting by either end will lift the entire side. It means you'd have to jack it up 4 separate times, but I believe that would be safest. Plus, you probably have the time right now.
