Pledge

[thexaulted]

I was wondering if any of you guys use lemon pledge? Someone told me to google, lemon pledge motorcycle a while back. Well I did, and I tried it and have been using it ever since on both my BD and HD. I was reluctant at first but have been using it ever since. It works great on everything. Paint, chrome, leather, windshields and just about everything.

I have been using it on my cars also, its great on the interior. Dash, leather seats, even the plastic in front of the speedometer which is usually difficult to clean. Its way cheaper than armor all, lasts longer, doesn't attract dust. The plastic headlight covers that yellow...........put pledge on them after you wash the vehicle it prevents the yellowing. I turned one of my friends onto it (he is obnoxiously anal about his truck) and now he won't use anything else!

I always travel with a can now and had a can in Daytona Beach when one of my friends unloaded his filthy bike from the trailer. I told him that I didn't want to offend him but his bike was filthy. Sprayed the entire (black) bike with lemon pledge and wiped it down. It looked beautiful and he couldn't believe it!

I read that the only draw back is that it attracts bee's in the summer. Haven't seen that personally. Seriously, give it a try!:up:

Makes sense to me...it's probably the same stuff Harley (and Honda) buys, puts their name on and sells for $15.00 a can!!! :angry:

Yes Red Bull, safe on chrome and paint, lol! The first time I used it on the paint I was worried that I would have it looking like it was stripped for a paint job!:lol: The way it was explained to me was this: what do you use pledge on...good furniture, wood that is lacquered. Well our bikes aren't wood but they are lacquered! Works great dude, promise!!

I posted this tip on another site. The owner of that site also owns a detailing company, a detailing forum, and is a bud of mine. he says that the pledge trick is an old school hillbilly trick that they use to use on old cars. he warns though that it offers no protection over the paint and that whatever little film it may leave behind would be gone at the first drop of any water.

Further that to use it on any vynal or leather would cause long term damage. Even though he then laughed and suggest the multi care version of pledge if I was dead set on the idea. At least that one was safe for those other materials.
