I spray down everything on one side, wipe it down then go over it with a clean cloth. Then I do the other side. 10 maybe 15 minutes and I'm done. Both lemon and orange.

I do a proper waxing a couple of times a year using Meguiars Gold Class. Then use Pledge to dust off the bike every ride or two. Makes it sparkle! Use it on the windshield, plastic and chrome/pipes. Use it daily after a run to remove bugs before they eat into the finish unless they (bugs) as especially heavy. Then I use a towel soaked in warm water and they lift right off, probably in part because of the protection and slippery surface from the regular wax and Pledge applications.

After a quick shot with the air compressor to get the heavy dust off, I wipe it down with lemon pledge. It works great. It looks like I spent all day cleaning the bike when it actually takes me about 10 minutes = more time for riding and getting it dirty again.

A buddy of mine used it on his cars back in the mid 60's, worked great then but I haven't thought about that till I saw it in this Forum. Right now I'm going to look for the wifes lemon Pledge before she gets home.
