I was talking to someone yesterday and he was telling me that he cleans his bike with Pledge (Furniture Polish). He sprays it on everything. He says it takes care of all the dust, polishes all the chrome and makes water bead up like regular wax. Has anyone else heard of this? I'd be afraid it might eat up the paint.

Yep, lots of folks I know use it.

I use carnauba wax myself, but I do know lots of folks that swear by pledge.


*it can attract bees though* :shock:

Bees and motorcycles...never good. Don't use the lemon scent...lol.

It is just what I have read here. But I have used it a time or two, seems to shine it up pretty good.

 

[su1kil]

I will give it a try. I have been just wiping the bike with the damp microfiber cloth so far...

I have been using it for years on my windshield, paint, seat and my eye glasses & goggles. No streaks, blemishes, scratches etc. My wife uses it to clean the bathroom mirrors. It is a pretty amazing product.

 

[REFUGIO]

I use Pledge on occasion.

The woman I bought my car from only used Lemon Pledge to clean the interior. It doesn't leave an obnoxious shine. I used some cleaner a while back and got off grime that had built up. The furniture polish isn't a cleaner and it leaves a layer of silicon on everything, something to keep in mind if you ever need to prep for paint. We use Quick Detailer on our bikes, and the exterior of the car, for light dirt.

I use Pledge on the windshield. Works just fine. Also us it on the wood on the scoot. Use a good carnuba wax on the paint.

 

[craig atkins]

so do you wash the bike first? Or do you just spray and wipe?

I started using Pledge several months ago when I saw a website on motorcycle cleaning where some guy suggested using it instead of waxing too often. Supposedly, it helps keep the dirt and dust from sticking and doesn't leave a buildup in between the couple times a year you wax your bike. I thought it worked pretty well and continue to use it.

You should never use it before washing. Like Obsidian16825 said, it's not a cleaner, and if you put it over dirt or dust and wipe it off, you're going to leave scratch marks as well as not leaving your bike completely clean.

I use it on my helmet. Makes it really slick and lemony fresh

 

[usmalenurse]

I've used Lemon Pledge on motorcycles since my first Kawa back in '71. Awesome shine......

I used it once. It worked well, but I just didn't care for it. Too slick and it smelled funny...

 

[Averitteg]

Wow...never tried it before...the Marine Corps swears up and down by Pledge when cleaning EVERYTHING...but never thought about cleaning a bike with it.

 

[KURT]

I have used pledge once in a while. My dad always used it on his
goldwing. Now I only use glass cleaner on everything. This cuts the road
grime realy good. Doesn`t hurt the finish. Everything realy shines.

I've always used Meguiars Quick Detailer to wipe the bike down in between washes
