Well i finally bought my first Haley. Shes a 2010 IRON, Black Denium. Got her for $9,000 OTD with the 1K service thrown in. Drove her home in the rain, and now shes filty! Can you use the lemon pledge trick on denium paint???

Thanks in advance.

Windex or dish detergent soap!!!! Anything that polishes or has carnuba wax in it will ruin the paint!

I did RTFM! I read the part about glass cleaner and dish detergant soap for denium paint. I was just curious if I could also use lemon pledge.
