Well I was using it as far back as 1978 too, but they were not Harleys. LOL

Anyone use it over pinstripping? Will it take the pinstripe off?

Ditto on the vivid black. Worked great on Blue though.

Do you have to clean the bike before you apply? I use "Honda Polish" cleaner and polish that I liked from my sport bike days, as it cleans bugs and dirt off and makes a nice smooth shine. I am intrigued about the Pledge tho, just dont wanna have to go over the bike twice. Once to clean, and then to polish.

Pledge works fine on m Vivid black, but you can't let it sit too long.

Wax on...wax off Danielson!
