You won't believe how well it shines up the scoot though...

Use california duster to get the dust off
Sray clean microfiber rag heavily with pledge and wipe down the scoot
Use another clean microfiber rag to buff-n-shine

It will leave the paint slick as snot. I use it on the chrome too.

Enlighten me...

What do you use to get the dirt off when just giving the bike a wipe down between full washes?

Just started to use Pledge. The first time was this past weekend. I Pledged the front fender and complete right side of my RK. The left side and rear fender was done with my usual cleaner (ICE). 24 hours later, I checked out the scoot and found that the Pledge side looked just as good as when I left it. The other side had dust on it. Not a very scientific study. But, it made a believer out of me. Just my opinion.

Used Pledge before...works great, but I only use it in a pinch if I'm out of something else. Lots of good spray on products on the markets these days.
