When I had my motorcycle the unaminous favorite in all the forums for a quick detailer was Pro Honda Polish and detailer. It is only 11.00 a can and works on everything. It goes on and comes off easy leaving a deep wet shine: Amazon.com: Pro Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish 12 oz.: Sports & Outdoors

anybody else on this forum use lemon pledge? started using it in 1964 on my white stingray convertible. have tried every wax, cleaner, and detailer and still find pledge great. just wondering what your feelings are. just put on my 2012 grand sport, racing stripes 3M carbon fibre. outrageous look. pledge works great on this also. any other product ideas would be appreciated.

I could see Pledge on the paint but I would never put it on leather. I would love to see the seats of someone car who uses nothing but pledge on it. I bet the cracks are as bad or worse than someone who uses armor all. IMO something with a conditioner and non-silicone is all I use.

I never realized how many uses for "Pledge" there is ! and since I'm thinning on top, I'm going to give it a try on my "Bald Spot" maybe I'll find just another use for it !!

Those that have used it have nothing but good things to say. And there are plenty of use cases to show that it does not harm the paint, even over many years. No, it won't provide a protective coating that lasts for weeks or months, but neither does any quick detailer; that's not what it's used for.
Those that have NOT used it seem to somehow know that it just can't be good.
Don't knock it until you have tried it.

The price has nothing to do with it. Used as a 'quick detailer' it produces a better shine than anything else I've tried. It is just a bit more work to buff it (maybe an extra 5 - 10 minutes spent on the car), but the results are outstanding.

It amazes me that daily on this forum somebody offers an opinion or advice backed up by others with similar advice or experience only to be chastised for doing something a little out of the ordinary. I've learned so much on this forum about cars from the old-timers with years of car and life experience. Generally, the old-timers offer a suggestion or some advice and then the immature name calling and jokes begin. I prefer to just PM them to get more insight and the old-timers always respond. We all have our own "smell test." If it smells right to me I try it. If it doesn't I don't.

You are not using it correctly.
Exactly.

If it were $100, and you could only get it by being a member with an online detailing supplies company, it would suddenly be the ultimate secret to a show winning shine. Oh, but it would have to have a very exotic name like Zymellano ZX27 or some such thing.

It happens all the time with consumer goods. All they would have to do is test it to make sure it worked, and passed legal muster. Then come up with another name like "Brite Shine" or something "made by S.C. Johnson...a trusted brand for over 100 years." Then make the can smaller but raise the price since auto enthusiasts love to pay more than a housewife at the supermarket for the same thing, and they would take advantage of a whole new market. Blue Dawn Soap and Windex comes to mind...
