I'm no chemist so I'm clueless on what they did to it. I do know it (the reformulated Honda stuff) didn't look as milky or feel as slippery when sprayed on, and was easier to wipe off. Felt a little more like a cleaner than a polish.

Been using Lemon Pledge for several months now after reading about it here.

Works great.

Plus I hadn't seen many bees for several years until I started using Pledge.
Now I see them all the time.

Found the info for the original Honda formula spray cleaner stuff that's being marketed independently by the same/original maker:

Lemon Pledge is fantastic. Spray on bug encrusted windshield, tank, lights, forks. Wait 60 seconds. Wipe melted bugs off with ease - then polish in seconds like you waxed all day.

The instant waxes are almost the same formula as Pledge. But Pledge is much cheaper. Many Corvette owners use it.
