Don't use it in place of a good waxing...just as clean up between waxings.
I still wax every few months but the pledge used inbetween helps maintain the slick finish longer.

I have used Pledge on everything except the leather and tires for nearly 10 years. I wipe it down before or after any ride of more than an hour or so. My scoots get about one good wash per year although I hate to put water on her. When I sold my 9 year old black Roadstar last year, the paint and chrome still looked in showroom condition.

Pledge started for me as a way to clean off the face shield on my full face. Then a friend mentioned that it was all he used on his bike. Gave it a try and found ti worked pretty well. To each their own with their Harley. Some are far too picky to ever use pledge on their bike. I usually wash and wax, and in between use pledge.

I use it VERY lightly to brush off the dust before wiping it down and haven't had a problem. I could see scratching the paint if using too much pressure.
What do you use other than the duster when just doing a wipe down between washes? I can't see wiping the bike down without getting the dust off somehow...
