I have moved on from Pledge. I now save even more with the generic Walmart version.

I've used it for probably 20 years with no ill-effects.

I've found that the original lemon "flavor" works better than some of the other ones they've came out with over the years. The others tended to streak more.

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.
Just like some here are trying to convince others that Pledge is the greatest thing for your automotive type paint finishes then regular wax and other products that were actually designed for something other then WOOD and WOOD laminate?????


As far as personal products, I use a stick and not a spray for anything, As far as shaving, soap and water if I am feeling like a puss but otherwise plain water will do. But then I don't shave every day. About twice a week.

Well.....Darn! I was feeling pretty good about the amount of time I was spending cleaning and 'PLEDGING' my bike....figuring I wasnt putting off other jobs that I REALLY needed to do.

And then THIS........

So much for feeling GOOD!!!! ;-)

I sure hope that I dont find out Im supposed to use my shop vac for anything but blowing water off the bike!!!!

PS....I saw a PLEDGE commercial the other day...showing the USEFUL uses for PLEDGE.....one of em was a "MOTORCYCLE".

All in jest .....

Leaf blower and pledge, I'll have to give both a try. One never knows what he can learn on this forum.

LMAO!!!!!!!! I bought a $25 electric leaf blower from WallyWorld.....JUST for the purpose of blowing off the bike. But it's not near as 'controllable'...it's HEAVY....and Im LAZY!!!! I blow the bulk of water off with it....LOL....I even bought a 'Sterilite' storage pan (about twice the size of a dishpan), and a 1 gallon pump up sprayer (water)....just for washing the tires and wheels. I have a gravel driveway...and the rocks are 'uncomfortable' on my ....n/m.
