if you use the search feature, i'm pretty sure you find several other posts about using pledge that suggest you use the search feature as well....

I use it all the time though. My bikes look pretty damn good and I don't have to slave over them all the time. i prefer to ride em and the pledge gives me time to do that.

best kept non-secret on the forum!

Ok I had just washed my truck today as it was filthy from sitting. I ride everyday and have been neglecting my truck for a loooong time. I had not washed it in over a year. So I got to thinking about trying Pledge on it as the paint was looking kinda shitty. All I have to say is WOW! It looks like I had a $200 detail job done to it. All I did was wipe it down and buff it a tiny bit after with a microfiber. I am a believer. My bike is denim so I might try the underside of the saddle bags for a test.

Lemon Pledge also works wonders on windshields. Spray it on and buff it off.

Why not just use the Harley Denim Paint Cleaner?

Pledge is a waxed based product. If you want your denim shiny, go ahead. I'm sticking to Windex

Just tried it on mine. All I can say is holy crap! My bike hasn't looked that good since it sat on the dealers floor! Goes a lot farther than H-D's Spray Cleaner & Polish too!

Default Using Furniture polish on your bike?? GAWD yeah!!

These posts STILL crack me up!! Like it's anything new...I have been doing quick clean-ups on my cars for years with it-and ALL my bikes. Hell I use the Dollar store brand and it works just fine. Go to a car show and see how many guys do their whole vehicles with it. Plus it works well on helmets and shields too. Why do i need to do a serious car wax job on vehicles that are stored in a garage?? Yup-you are correct! I don't need all that protection and long lasting shine. Now my poor 96 Toyota Tercel commuter car that I drive 90% of the time and sits outside 24/7/365? It gets a double coat of Nu-Finish every late fall! 131K and no rust either....
I don't believe i'd try it on the Denim finish though(I agree bznitch!)..I think you'd end up with a 'satin' finish instead. Just my two centavo's...OH yeah since there seems to little knowledge on this old trick DO NOT SPRAY/WIPE it on ANY seats,grips or pegs though! This is a Public Service Message for you silly-heads...
