Don't use it in place of a good waxing...just as clean up between waxings.
I still wax every few months but the pledge used inbetween helps maintain the slick finish longer.

Pledge? Wow, I wouldn't have tried that on my own.

Yeah, if you're the type that walks on your bike when it is wet, be careful with Pledge!

I have used Pledge on everything except the leather and tires for nearly 10 years. I wipe it down before or after any ride of more than an hour or so. My scoots get about one good wash per year although I hate to put water on her. When I sold my 9 year old black Roadstar last year, the paint and chrome still looked in showroom condition.

We used to pledge on one of the helicopters at work, it was the only one that didn't have poly paint, it worked great.

Pledge started for me as a way to clean off the face shield on my full face. Then a friend mentioned that it was all he used on his bike. Gave it a try and found ti worked pretty well. To each their own with their Harley. Some are far too picky to ever use pledge on their bike. I usually wash and wax, and in between use pledge.

Does the bike have to be super clean before using pledge like when you wax? Or do you use pledge to clean the bike?

I use it VERY lightly to brush off the dust before wiping it down and haven't had a problem. I could see scratching the paint if using too much pressure.

What do you use other than the duster when just doing a wipe down between washes? I can't see wiping the bike down without getting the dust off somehow...
