Default S100 vs Pledge

Just confirmed last night what I'm sure some of you already know... Lemon Pledge makes a bike look great. I polished one side of the bike with S100 Detail and Wax, and other side with Lemon Pledge Furniture Spray. The Chrome and Paint on the side with Pledge was clearly more shiny and left the chrome with a great wet look.

I use Pledge on my Denim Black LO Make the black pop a bit more. And for the engine I use S100 Engine Brightener.

I use the S100 bike wash only. For detail work, it's the Pledge. I also use some spray wax I bought at the dealer called "Texas Two-Step". Put on some Pledge after I use that and the tins are like glass...

You're preaching to the choir of the Holy Church of the fresh lemon scent here.


Can I get an amen from the congregation?

I'm the minority. Never tried Lemon Pledge and never will! Leaving the furniture polish for the furniture. S-100 wash and Mequiars High Tech Yellow wax with a spritz of the meguiars Quick detailer and the bike shines like dimonds. I live on brutal gravel roads and after a quick after ride cleaning my bikes always sparkle!

I use LP all the time & it looks great but it is not nearly as durable or long lasting as a good wax. I use it to clean my bikes up in between waxes. And waxing 2x a year is plenty.

Have used S100 exclusively for past 11 years on my bikes. Good stuff.

I've been using the S-100 on my furniture. Looks amazing!

Just kidding, but recently saw a LP commercial showing it's many uses and it included motorcycles.
