I like the S100 cleaner for the dinette set. Spray on rinse and dry with leaf blower and ready for supper. Really cuts down on the housekeeping time.

Nope, pledge is not touching my bike.

I get more bugs on the fairing after applying lemon pledge. They love the smell.

Lemon Pledge is the cat's @ss. Been using it for 13 years on my bikes and it works great, smells good and is much cheaper than all the Zainos and Meguiars of the world.

I have never tried Pledge, I may have to get some the next time I am at the store. Still it just seems wrong.

Tried pledge. Biker spirits works better in my opinion.

Personally I think pledge sucks .. Is okay if out in the middle of nowhere and can't buy a proper cleaner for touch up .. Other than that will stick to stuff designed for polishing something besides furniture ...

Trust me This shine was done just fine without the need of Pledge ...

The reason why is because it has more water in it then pledge does. I also buy the cheap one from Dollar General. The trick to using pladge is to mist some water on after you applied pladge and wipe it to a shine. The cheap stuff already has enough water in it so it will not leave streaks and will just wipe up to a shine.

Love the stuff!

Woot!!! Sorry but Original Bikers Spirit, previously known as Honda Polish is the best out there.
