Wax preference?

[jaherbst]

Do you use Pledge on the windshield instead of Plexas?

I use Lemmon Pledge on the windshield also. Best thing I have ever used. If you use Plexus over and over is will leave those pesky small swirls or scratches. Lemmon pledge will take them away. Always used this on my airplanes windshield to do the same thing. Works great on cars, Airplanes, Motorcycles etc. Will not work on glass. Paint,plastics, tires, vinyl etc. I use it to detail everything.

wax preference

I purchased two cans of Motul from a vendor (don't remember the name?) at Spyderfest last year. It is a wash and wax spray that works fantastic. Now have 1/2 can left so hopefully this vendor will be back and have more available for me. It apparently was not too pricey or I would not have purchased the product.

I normally used the Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish but it is getting harder to find and price per can is going up.

May try the Original Spray Cleaner Spray and Polish when I finish my can of Honda.

If you only went through two cans in a year you are not riding enough or detailing enough. I probably use a can of detailer/pledge a month.:joke:

I use Bullet Polish...comes in a 4oz bottle that is mixed into one gallon of distilled water. Can be used as a detailed or waterless wash. About 15.00 a bottle...a gallon goes a long way!

Me too - tupperware looks like new and easier to remove bugs, etc.

I use Lucas Slick Mist.

I have used this for a little over a year and my Spyder Tupperware looks like new....nice product and easy to use. Nice quick clean-ups. Use on all surfaces except clear plastic (windshield, dash, etc,).... I think it's a great product! :thumbup:

Lots of choices, keep the spray wax off the brake rotors and it will also make a smooth concrete floor very slippery when wet!!!!!!:yikes: ask me how I know.:banghead: I personally use Honda spray polish. Next purchase will be the Original Spray Cleaner and Polish. Available at Value Accessories and others.

this is the best when used with a micro fiber cloth available at White Horse Gear North Conway NH

Bees and wasp love them some lemon pledge. I still use it and it does a great job ... Even on all the chrome:yes:

 

[robtdonna]

Thanks for all the suggestions, appreciate it! :yes:

I use bass boat saver. Works great on plastic as well as on gel coat boats.

+1 for turtle wax ICE. i actually use all the ice stuff normally. And this Xmas got me one of the "ice buckets" with all the products inside for like $20

I used the Pledge on the bike. Tupperware and windshield. Looked pretty darn good even though the pledge did not do as easy a job on removing bug guts from the windshield as plexus.

Then I drove the bike to work this morning in the dark.....

Holy diffraction distortion batman! The pledge left a residue that severely diffracts headlights etc into long smears of light. VERY hard to see through.

So while it did a very nice job on the tupperware, just as good as the Chemical Guys V07 detailer I normally use if a bit more work, the results on the windshield were pretty poor compared to the Plexus. I will need to thoroughly re-clean my windshield tonight to remove the Pledge residue.

Just thought others should know as a back to back comparison. I'll leave the Pledge to the furniture that I don't have to look through. No harm done, but lesson learned. I am back to Plexus for the windsheild and Chemical Guys V07 detail spray. Turtlewax ICE for wax.

Good to know about Pledge on the windscreen even though I'm a fan of Plexus on the windscreen and won't change.

When being lazy I find the Honda spray wax and cleaner as good as anything on the Tupperware although I do have a number of more exotic waxes than will last much longer. They just take more effort. I keep my stuff clean but find I'm not quite as enthusiastic as I used to be. Chemical Guys do make good stuff.
