I changed a couple of months ago to the newer multi surface pledge. It also works better than the original...

You're not alone, Dave. I've been using the Honda spray polish for a decade or so. I use it on bikes, cars, trucks, drums, pretty much anything painted that needs to shine.

I used to use plege on whe shield for my full face for years and years (same helmet) Never had a problem. Used it on the bieks as well. I ahve now discovered all kinds of new ways to waste my money from this forum and am using these ( I don't use a windshield on the bike now or wear a fullface) and am ahppy either way. Pledge has never caused a problem for me not has the off brand that I got for 99 cents. To each his own as I know someone will argue this way or that...

I use Pledge on my 67 Camaro too. Works as well as any of the name brand "quick waxes" at a fraction of the cost. I actually use an off-brand of pledge. Costs a 1.00 a can. Same ingredients. I do use a top of the line wax every now and again, but for those in-between quick fixes, the Pledge works great.

Lemon Pledge is TOTALLY safe to use on any Lexan or Plexiglas surface IMHO! I bought a Cessna 180 airplane new in '74. I sold it in '98 after using nothing BUT Lemon Pledge on the windshield and side windows. When I sold the A/C, the buyer asked me if the windshield was a 'new' one. I told him about the use of Lemon Pledge. No discoloring, no glaze, no scratching, just a great looking Plexiglas windshield.

I have a '05 Road King Classic in Sierra Red. I have used Lemon Pledge on the windshield and the painted surfaces since day one. I am still receiving complements on the appearance of my bike.

Lately, I have started using it on the leather-covered hard bags. I can't see any but good results. .... BC

How does lemon pledge do on dissolving bug guts? I also use the Honda polish, and that stuff works great @about $5 a can.
