Seldom. I use degreaser and wadding polish. Seems like when I wash it, it runs like crap for a bit because I'm not smart enough to cover my a/c. What's the deal with Pledge? That's a new one on me. Can someone elaborate?
Having bought into the "s100 line" I wash the bike only when it's REALLY dirty and by that I mean I can write my name on the fender from the dust. The spray and hose off cleaners don't do the best job IMO. I keep up on dirt/grime with cleaner wax and detailing.
After im done using my s100 I'll be going back to meguiars products again.
