I just got back from DC and Rolling Thunder and was talking to a guy who vows by lemon pledge on paint and windshield. Has anybody heard this before?

Lots of people have used it and swear by it. One friend of mine used it all the time but he also cleaned his windsheild with the scrubber at the gas stations. But his windsheild was awful.

My brother uses lemon pledge on his boat.  He swears by it.  His boat always looks good right after he wipes it down with the lemon pledge.  The furniture polish seems to attract dust and causes it to stick.

I use it. Last weekend I was over at Docs and we had a chance to do side by side comparisons with Protectall. While Protectall seemed to leave things a tad more "slick" feeling, I really could not tell the difference. And yes, it does lift the dust off and away. And the bike smells lemony fresh too.

The guys from pledge need to invent a beer scented pledge for those of us that don't like the smell of lemons.

I carry the lemon Pledge wipes with me. They are great for cleaning the windshield! Get the bugs off quickly.

Only Lemon pledge works and be careful using it outdoors because it attracts Bees - this is from experience. I haven't used it on my Ultra, but used it on my Suzuki cruiser all the time.

In WW2 GI's use to use kerosene on equipment to keep it clean. Check out the MSDS for pledge and see what the ingredients are. We all know what petroleum does to plexiglass or lexan. That probably is why it would be good for removing fine scratches on your windshield.

Yea you can use Hydraulic Fluid on your tires to make them shine. It will also make your paint shine.

I use it ALL THE TIME!  I will never leave for a trip w/o it. 
Bugs don't stick.
Repels the dust. 
Shines like you can't believe because it has carnuba in it...you can buy it for under $2 and i'd challenge it against the best stuff out there.
