I have used lemon pledge on my motorcycle and my mustang. Take your detailer spray and apply it to an area of your car and use lemon pledge on another area and see what area is the most slick.
Now I am not saying that it is better but have used it on cars 30 years ago. Lemon Pledge is all that I use on my 2006 HD and 2005 mustang now. Seems to repel dust also.

One more time...

I've been using pledge since the 60's but not lemon pledge. Just regular Pledge. I don't like the citric acid or the slippery feeling of the lemon. Lemon is a cleaner.

It's cheap enough. You might try regular Pledge for the heck of it...

Long time Pledge user, but I just got a bottle of the multi surface and found that it works even better than the regular pledge.

ps: This thread will never die...

Used it for 9 years on my Sporty. I just traded her in and got lots of compliments from the dealership on how good the paint job looked. I've used it on the paint, the seat (not a lot), the chrome, the wind screen, my helmet and helmet visor. Like some of the other guys have said, it's dirt cheap and works like a charm.

Just tried it, and like others it left my bike greasy. I wiped it down good but can still see some greasy streaks.
