I think I'm going to try using other random household cleaning products on mine. Maybe come up with a new cheap myth for cleaning my bike..

I only use Pledge for my everyday bike cleaning, done so for 20+ years.
I also use a high quality wax a couple times a year.

Well I was going to go with bleach, but that's a better idea!

I use some stuff called Protect All, you find it in the little RV section at WalMart. Works great on everything (chrome, windshield, seats etc...)and you only need a little bit. I'm pretty lazy and it is a wipe on wipe off kinda thang.....love it.

Will try some pledge though, sounds like good stuff.

Hey guys,

I heard that this stuff works great for protecting the paint on long rides.

what do you think?

I think that whoever told you thatis BS-ing you, brah. Surf wax is a hard wax that softens from the friction createdby rubbing it on your surfboard. The wax then hardens when the cool water comes in contact with it, giving you traction to stand w/out slipping.

SW has the consistency of a candle...try rubbing your scoot down with candle wax...[sm=bangbang.gif]

Does dust attract to it or repel?? I'm a little skeptical to use it on my new paint, and chrome. But what about on engines?? I have a natural S&S.
