Tank, chrome, seat, mirrors. I challenge you to find a better cleaner at any price. No joke. Most people laugh until they try it. All for 2.95 a bottle. Try it and you will be hooked. Years of use, no issues. safe.
Cool, i guess I need to try it. I may try it on my dad's bike first. lol

I wax or use detail spray. Then use ammonia free Windex while actually riding.

I AM going to give the Pledge a try.

I've always used a Micro-fiber cleaning cloth soaked in [really] hot water to clean the windshield, then a separate dry micro-fiber cleaning cloth to dry the windshield.

You can get a bundle of 6 from Wally World for something like $6.00

Lemon Pledge!.....it's the citrus oil in it that makes it work so well....I use chrome polish on the chrome, then follow thru with the Pledge.

On the windshield, I soak it with pledge, then let the bugs melt before I wipe them off....We get LOTS of bugs down here and then they bake in the sun!.....After 1.5 years, I don't have the first swirl mark or scratch on my shield.

I have a helicopter with a lot of plexi. and have been using Lemon Pledge for years. The guy in the hangar next to uses Plexus. I used Pledge on the pilot side and his Plexus on the passenger side. The Pledge side is just easier to maintain. The Plexus side seems to want to fog up while the Pledge side doesn't.

Bug removal and water repellency is superior to the Plexus.

Sorry guys, I tried it and I'm sticking with the Lemon Pledge for the scoot as well. You can buy it in any grocery store as well. Just easier for me.

You know, if I was the maker of Lemon Pledge, I'd repackage it and promote it as a 'wonder product' specially formulated to clean lexan....Repackage it again and claim it was the best auto/scooter chrome and paint detailer on the market.....I'm thinking they are missing a marketing op here...LOL!
