Pledge

So today stunning day in Tampa blue sky's right temperature for a long ride. Before leaving got out my can of Pledge and cleaned my CB to a brilliant shine.
My next door busy body comes wandering over and asked me why I use Pledge to clean my bike? I told him that I have used Pledge on all my cars motorcycles and aircraft. So he goes into this big deal about how it will destroy my paint and it's not the proper product to use on cars or motorcycles. So I reply with well been using longer then you been alive with great results and never had a problem with it and actually always had positive results for me works better then any other product that I have tried and leaves a slick finish on the paint and chrome along with reducing the need to wash my cars or bikes dramatically. Then he told all the products I should be using that he has at work that are designed to my vehicles looking like new. I ask him where do you work he responded with a auto parts supply house. I told him thanks for your help I'll stay with the Pledge. I told him that his car could use some Pledge walk over and did his hood handed him the can and said enjoy. When I returned from my ride he came over and thank me he Pledge both his cars and said
he would have never believed Pledge would work so well.

Just wanted to share.

Been using pledge for about 25 years on various bikes. That stuff is the shiz-nit.

Was expecting some sort of promise/commitment - "I pledge to ride my CB every day for the next 365 days, rain, shine, snow or hail." Thanks for the post. Will definitely have to give it a try. And, more importantly, I'll be sure to let my wife see me with a can of Pledge in my hand before I sneak into the garage with it.

I learned this from my auto body shop owner. He was our tow service for the police dept and when i was over there one day i saw him using Pledge on the customer's cars just before they arrived to pick the car up that had been repaired.

Well done, you schooled him. Been using it for years

I've been using Pledge on the windshield and leading edge of my airplane's wings for about 20 yrs. It keeps the bugs from sticking. I think not using Pledge would be harder on the paint, since you'd have to scrub harder to get the bugs off.

Very cool

Interesting. I have never heard of this, but me thinks a can is in my near future.

Pledge works great, always gave my rides a rubdown after wash. It helps fill in scratches on windscreens and buffs up a nice shine on the tank and fenders.

I may have to do an ingredient comparison between Pledge and Honda Pro Polish (or whatever it's called). Seems like they do the same thing with the same results
