The Original Lemon Pledge [Only]

I like it better than any designated cleaner polisher I've ever used, and the list is long.
Leaves no  residue to disturb my view through the windscreen [non-coated aftermarket].
I use it on everything. Chrome, naked aluminum, paint, plastic, rubber, vinyl & leather.
It's faster and the Valk doesn't seem to dust over as quickly.

Good with bug removal too! And No, it doesn't attract bee's.  :crazy2:

I might have to try it on the gas tank, side bags, and trunk since with my all black I/S, the dust settles like within 1 week after washing and waxing it looking terrible again.  And, I am not a fan of washing nor waxing like 3-4 times every year with more often the bugs on the windshield though.

  i really started using it a lot last summer on long trip through NW.  2 weeks, good weather used it every day. started out with plexus for windshield and ran out but pledge is fine for that also.   it made it easier to get crud off also.  odd though on summer trip, every morning yellow jackets hanging around bike liking the lemon scent.

  now sometmes when i walk in garage i will give it a squirt on tank or bag as i go by a give a quick swipe with old t shirt. like the shine and no yellowjackets in garage. still have some plexus for winshield, like it a lot also but $ to $$$.

I've tried the pledge all surface spray cleaner in the blue can.



The pledge doesn't work to bad but I still prefer my honda spray cleaner and polish......stuff just melts bugs and leaves a nice shine behind.



For a full on wash and wax I like S100 wash (sold as hondabrite in the red bottle) as it cleans up brake dust on your wheels and will clean bugs off without a lot of effort.

I was a fan of lemon pledge for the whole bike, but got turned on to Turtle Wax Black Detailer for my bike and truck.

This stuff is the bomb :cooldude:
Still use Pledge for the windshield.

I second that. My experience too. Love using the stuff. Lemon Pledge is great but in the summer time the bees and yellowjackets are attracted. Everything is fine until I start spraying that stuff.
Bees and Yellowjackets are a bit of a phobia of mine. So, yeah, I notice.

Read about Lemon Pledge on another forum years ago and have used nothing but on my shield since.
Does a great job on whatever is on my windshield. i throw a can in one of my bags any time I go on a ride or trip.

I was out in the garage yesterday doing an oil change on my Goldwing and my Corolla when I looked over at my KLR and saw that it still had a bug on the oversize windshield from a ride two weekends ago. I thought I need to get that off of there, and then got busy and forgot all about it. I was sitting here reading about Pledge and thought of that bug on the windshield. Went out in the garage, got my can of orange Pledge and cleaned the bug off and made my shield nice and shiny. Love Pledge, either orange or lemon for all of my bikes.

I like the sound of what you guys are saying about pledge!  I have a clear view windshield, has any one used pledge on a clearview?  I dont want to spray something on there that will mess it up.  The paperwork that came with it said only use water, not to use any kind of soap or chemical.  But with just water, it sucks trying to get the largest windshield clearview makes clear enough to see out of.

Can't really say about the Clearview, but it works great
on Memphis Shades....and everything else!
