Nah, do a search. There is probably a hundred threads on it. Some of these old farts here have been using it for 20 years with no side effects.

Me? I've only been using it for around three years but have never been left with anything but a great shine.

I have used Lemon Pledge and it really does a very good job. The downside is that it seems to attract bees. Not an issue when moving down the highway.

I just use red (brown) scotchbrite. I can't see **** thru the windshield, but the bugs come off rather easily.

I use Plexus but found that Lemon Pledge works as well or better. When I'm on the road, I stick a can of Pledge in my bag and use it on the whole bike.

Plexus here too.. but it almost doubled in price last yr...

As far a Pledge..... its about time we have another thread on it, haven't had one for a while.. put it with the other thousands of post on it.

I tried it, it was a no-go for me. but others swear by it...

Its been said in here that it does attract bees at stop lights.
