You guys are just CHEAP! You buy $10,000-$40,000 bike and can't even use products made for urethane base/clear paint jobs. Buy a good car/bike wax and use some brand of Quick Detailer spray in between. Pledge......never!! By the way, I used to run a high end autobody shop and dealt with Akzo Nobel Sikkens and Sherwin Williams Herbert Standox paints so try not to argue with me. LOL.

It's not Honda polish anymore it's called Bike Spirits. It was started by honda but have since sold the rights to those ingredients and made a new polish that is more "enviorment friendly" ingredients as a part of the company going "green". It dosent work very well. Bike Spirits is the stuff you want it works Awesome!!! Have used pledge not for very long and not all the time only when I run out of bike spirits and it works well also. Havent seen any negative effects.

Can I get some responses from people that have used Pledge long term (and define long term) confirming it does or doesn't hurt paint, chrome, plastic, windshields? - *4 Bikes, 12 years, no damage
As well as how often they use it. - After every ride unless the bike is wet with roadgrime and/or muddy
Is it only good for slightly dirty bikes or it doesn't mater how dirty? - I won't use it when the bike is wet with roadgrime and/or muddy
Also does it ever create any wax buildup? - no, including multiple windshields - no buildup
My tip was from an Alaskan bush pilot - using it on his plane's windshield. The one downside I am aware of is that the Lemon Pledge (only one I will use) will attract bees...even in the dead of winter I have had a bee show up to check it out.
