Pledge?? Hmmmmmm??
I have always been under the assumption that Pledge was a dust collecter/attracted dust! Spray it on a rag ...Dust is on it! Does it attract dust? I have 2 miles of gravel in/ two miles out to leave my house!! I have a dust magnet to begin with! Makes me nuts!! I really do not need any help !! Do I really wanna spray my bike down with it?!!

Actually Pledge repels dust. If you looked at furniture treated with Pledge on one side and the other side without, you will see the side with Pledge has much less dust on it. People spray it on the rag to polish the furniture and clean at the same time.

Mine (using Pledge) collects less dust than McGwuiers Detailer or any paint car wax I've used.
That being said, gravel roads suck and you're screwed.
I lived on one for 42 years and have never been happier than they day I left them for good.

I was using it and thought it was pretty good (especially for the price), but the other day bought Lucas Oil Slick Mist. Wow, what a difference between it and pledge. Cost's more but I thought my Vivid black was more vivid and after a long ride the bike seemed to stay cleaner and the bugs came off easier.
Just my opinion, but I will not be using pledge any longer!

Don't really worry about the dust if you go fast enough it all blows off anyway.
Take it a really long nice ride and if you still feel the need wash it.

+1 for Lucas Slick Mist. I think that is one of the best spray detailers around. I cant bring myself to use Pledge on my scoot either

I use Pledge to wipe down the bike, chrome, windshield and all. It works great as a detailing type of spray. Just buy the unscented version of the stuff if you can. Yea it removes bugs easier from the w/s too as someone stated above.
