RE: Pledge Polish?
My wife thinks I'm nuts! I just ran out the door with her can of Lemon Pledge and I'll be damned!!! It really works and works well! This is one of the best threads we've had in a long time. I found a new cleaner that won't cost me out the wazooooooooooooo so I can buy more chit for my scoot. Thanks HDF!

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like there's no real advantage to Pledge overamist detailerlike Meguiar's.

I use Pledge Lemon Spray on the Windshield, I would not use it on Paint/Chrome, I heard it has Alcohol in it and will deteriorate the Windshield Coating. I use Protectall Paste/Wax/Polisher/Cleaner on the Paint, Metal, Chrome. I may have to start using the Protectall on the Windshield also. There is another brand Plexus that they use too.

Lemon Pledge has citric acid in it, duh.
Regular Pledge doesn't streak for me.
I've been using Pledge on cars, bikes, you name itfor decades with no harm to anything.
PS This bike belowis 22 years old. Pledge, Westley's Bleche Wite, occasionally Simichrome polish, and whatevername-brand car wash soap is on sale - never a problem.
I use Pledge on the leather.

I have heard not to wax a new bike for a while because the paint needs to fully cure.....anyone care to input on this?
Wifes bike is a 05, mine will be a 08...

It used to be that with lacquer or enamal you waited. Then they came out with catalyzed paints thathardened quickly. Now they are even using some water basedpaints on new cars.
I'd wait 90 days but what do I know?
