Motorcycle Myths - Why not Lemon Pledge?

[John U]

Plexus is a product I've used on my cycle windshields for decades. It smells like Pledge, covers like Pledge.....

I used to use Lemon Pledge on tires and dashboards back in the 70s when I was a teenager. It made everything look nice and shiny while it was sitting in the driveway. One highway trip and it would sling off of the tires. In a day or two, the dash would be dusty. That was okay with me because I got to reapply another coat and it was fun.

J n J is the medical products company Bob.

SC Johnson ( a family company) is still a privately held company that makes consumer products.

Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer is just as easy to apply and would outperform Pledge short term/long term.

LOl, wrong company.

I wonder how good Lemon Pledge is
for removing egg from ones face?

Because Lemon Pledge doesn't smell very manly on a Harley Davidson

Back in 1960's, before I had a drivers license, my motorcycle detail products came from under Moms sink. Oven cleaner for the pipes, Lemon Pledge for the paint. Free, available, convenient. I'm still amazed that I wasn't the only one using Lemon Pledge. Even more amazed that some folks still use it.

Now that I think about it back in the 1990's we used to use Regular Pledge, not the lemon version to remove water spots and shine clear vinyl boat enclosures. I remember it worked well but you had to be carefull with the application so as not to get overspray on the deck. Slippery decks don't work well on boats. I remember most people used Plexus bought from the boat store but Pledge was the Boat Captains insider secret.

before armor all we use to use clear floor wax on tires and vinyl roofs. before that on tires we would use ruglyde rubber lube on tires . thats like pledge on paint. before car wash soap was invented they used flax soap ie murphy oil soap to wash cars . they also used 1cup of kerosene to a bucket of water to wash cars . times have changed. there are many detail sprays and spray waxes that are better then pledge.
