It probably works alot like PLEXUS. I use it on everything, windshield / painted parts / seat.

by spraying it on the black painted parts of the engine, how does it hold up to the heat?

The oil based nature of pledge really makes the paint shine, although I do recall reading that it will strip the wax off. I have used it on many other bikes with no adverse affects, but I will try it to clean the chrome now...

so do you guys use Pledge as a replacement to waxing, or just something to enhace a wax job and a quick cleaner to take of minor dist/grime.

I've got a posting about my chrome mags getting pitted in under 6 months. They are getting replace under warantee but the dealer and others on HDF say that you do have to keep a good coat of wax on them to protect the chrome. I wax my bike a few times during riding season and use S100 detail & wax for a quick wipe down. I'm planning on trying Pledge to replace the S100 but wondering if it protects too?

Thanx

used it for years and for some reason I found the uncented pledge is easier to buff off...less streaks

Depending on your part of the country, the lemon pledge attracts pesky yellowjackets in late summer/early fall. You might want to switch to the unscented.

I've been on this forum for a while and this is all news to me...I guess you learn something new every day, eh?

I'm trying it. Not for a while though as I just washed it last month.

Peace,
