What makes pledge improper materials?

 

Go take a look at this thread.

'Cause it's cheap and he can't justify using it on an expensive bike.

 

And why would anyone want to spray something that is highly flamable on to their expensive scooter. Anything highly flamable can not be good for paint.

 

The other day I needed to polish some furniture..... so I went out to the bike cabinet where I store the pledge, brought it into the house and polished some furniture.

 

I’m assuming it’s highly flammable because it’s an aerosol can.
All aerosol cans, can be used as bow torches and blow up if thrown in a fire.

Guess by that way of thinking then Right Guard needs to quit making spray deodorant. Or perhaps PAM cooking products should be outlawed. OMG shaving cream...and we put that on our face!!!!

Ummm well I don't spray it on the bike...actually spray it onto a microfiber towel and apply that way...but whatever.

Hey...it works...but if you think it's bad for your bike...don't like the idea that something this inexpensive should be put on your bike...or just think conventional wax should be better...then by all means....don't use it.

As far as showing up here and thinking you are going to convince people who have used it (and often times for many years) that it is "bad for your bike"...you are wasting your time. Move on.

 

I have tried the pledge route. It was a disappointing one for me. Looks either like it leaves an oily residue when using too much or no visible effect if using less.
I have therefore Pledged to have nothing touch my girl but McGuire wax!

 

What makes it improper? Because it doesn't say "Harley-Davidson" or that it's specifically for motorcycles? Make sure you only use the right car - excuse me - bike wash concentrate too!

Pledge is basically the same thing as the Honda detail polish. Just not as expensive. Seems silly to pay more for the exact same thing if you ask me, but to each their own.

I've tried Pledge and think it works well. A couple of years ago I got this stuff called The BOM for basically the same thing. $20 for a huge bottle that has lasted for years (plus at the time I got a travel bottle, plus a 2nd bottle for free). I'll typically wash the bike (if it's really dirty), use the BOM afterwards to keep it from water spotting (living in the desert heat it's hard to get it dry fast enough). I might wax the bike once a year or so, just use either Pledge or that other stuff and it stays pretty shiny.
