I've heard lotsa folks use Pledge.

I spend the extra $0.50 or whatever and use Pedro's Bike Lust. Comes in a pump spray bottle, gets yer whole bike clean and shiny. Helps keep future dirt and grime from sticking too. Strong enough for a mtb, but made for road geeks ;-)



Citrus-based cleaners vs. the nominal amount of lemon (or orange) fragrance they put in Pledge, are 2 totally different extremes in concentration levels. I doubt that the "lemon scent #5" or whatever they use would cause any problems at the very low % it is in the product.

float , hammer , and jog

is there anything to use on chrome parts? such as the cranks, etc.?

(not planning on putting it in the actual moving parts, duh!)

I've used Pledge on my bikes for six years and counting, no signs of paint problems.

"It is a good feeling for old men who have begun to fear failure, any sort of failure, to set a schedule for exercise and stick to it. If an aging man can run a distance of three miles, for instance, he knows that whatever his other failures may be, he is not completely wasted away." Romain Gary, SI interview
