Dominance? Are you going to pound your fist at some guy who does waterless quick spray cleaning as opposed to full blown wash like a guy who takes pride like you, does every time?
As I said I used it on windshields for years. Sometimes every gas stop. Where I wasn't going to do a full blown polish that I might do yearly
Put it this way , compare it when you take a spa versus girls day at the spa. You can do both

I never said anyone is doing anything wrong.
I just said people have used this product for decades. He acted like I made it up. Tons of threads on this forum and around Internet about. I can keep bumping if you like. Do you can go off on them too
I carry cleaner for windshield. I clean often, and polish once in awhile
All a guy has to do is say is some people do but I don't/wouldn't. But don't get upity.
You are making crap up.

Maybe you need to Google this. All the self righteous folks on their high horse.
All I wrote is it is product that people have used for decades. Didn't say the best. Didn't say you should use it. Just saying it's out there.
Some of you are working yourself into a frenzy about this like insulted your mother. All you have to say is I would not use it, or there are better products now, I am not even asking you to belittle yourself by saying ok for fast fix it will do.
I used it on my windshield for 20 years. Times I would use it every gas stop. Could buy it on the road
But the worse is how you act like I making it up and you crapping your drawers over it car forums,bmx, Harley forums have talked about.
Big world out there. Just relax.

When I bought my Ranger boat which is a high polished gelcoat finish, they told me to use nothing but Pledge or Favor [ not found anymore ] on the finish. Worked great, so I started using it on the bikes too. Works great, smells nice and leaves a fresh waxed feel in about two minutes. makes cleaning bugs off easier and repels water. But hey, use whatever tickles your fancy. There is a ton of expensive stuff out there. My bike came with a brand-new bottle of some expensive ceramic polish I have never tried. I'm sure its dandy, just never tried it. The Pledge does an excellent job.

pardon the Roundabout interruption , but I have pertinent questions for the experts and expUrtz alike
is there anything in Pledge that will hurt paint with use?
I don't use it, but if no ill effects, I sure don't give a chit if they like it as well as any off the shelf squirt bottle speedy spray 'n buff from Turtle, Meguires, Grotts, et al
curious though, since I LOVE shinny sheeit
Of the off the shelf consumer grade "spray 'n buff" products (or wipe 'n buff lotions) are there any harmful to paint with regular use?
Any we should avoid?
any we should favor?
on the tech level for us SDS geeks curiosity ,
What's the chem(s) in shine products that makes the "shine" shine with a MF towel buff?
(I presume there are couple/few common to all "make shine" product formulations???)
thanks

It would be over right away if people ignored it r said they used something else that is better.
If a person were to mention some new motorcycle branded product no one heard of, it would not be hair on fire. Probably not even get a reply
As long as it doesn't hurt, what do you care what someone else uses?

never used pledge , so I can't say
But have used several name brand and generic spray 'n shine products.
I can't tell a dimes worth of difference in 93.88% of them
F1 was the biggest joke considering the price
