I know people who have used Pledge for years without any negative results. I've used it for a couple of years myself, and bikes shine like new.

I park my black Road King in the garage. This is what I've done with all my bikes. I never wax. I just use Pledge.

I bought 2 cans of the "Honda" spray cleaner....then later I bought 2 cans of the orange "Pledge". Me, I'd rate em equal....except that Pledge is about 1/2 the cost. So now, the Honda stays in the saddlebag...for road trips. I use em BOTH on the windshield......EVERYTHING but the tires, grips, and floorboards. Love the way it makes the black inner fairing clean up...and helps shed the water when it rains....which hasnt happened here in Texas in quite a while.

Have used Pledge on bikes for years and years and never had a problem. Chrome, windshield, paint...never had a problem with any of it. I don't haul a can around with me....that's why they make the pledge wipes. Just hit the bike with it and buff out with a microfiber towel. It's all good, and it only takes a little bit of time.

Wax? Well...guess if I have a few hours and nothing to do...

I use pledge on my end tables...... I guess I figure if I can afford a $20k plus bike I can afford the proper materials to keep/clean it...... I find it amazing that people spend there hard earned money on a toy and then look for "cheap" materials to keep it up....

Griotsgarage has top notch materials to do so.......all just my .02
