cleaning the batwing

so...i seem to remember that a buddy once showed me how good a good ole fashioned can of pledge, would clean the windshields so good they almost disappeared...and then i noticed guys on the corners in Sturgis, with the labels pulled off of the cans, sure they were just furniture polish...now, my questions is this...has anybody tried to do this with the batwing?? i hate to give Harley $15.99 to use the equivalent of a $3 can of pledge...what does everybody think??

thanks for the responses...

Pledge works fine but bees do seem to be attracted to the aroma of the pledge.

I bet the cans with no labels, was Honda spray polish.

That's what I use.....and it seems like I get more torque...lol

But the best thing to do first is to use a wet micro fiber towel to get the bugs off first or you will wear yourself out rubbing and go through a lot of spray polish to boot...
