only draw back is... your bike will smell like a damn fast food bathroom

Leather is porous and as such would benefit from the oils in Pledge.

Pledge makes it slicker than hell when you wipe it down, also helps make the bug guts not stick as much. I used it on my bike when I lived in FL. lots of love bugs most of the time down there.

don't know what kind of protection you are talking about.

UV,paint,leather,etc.Pledge is designed for wood and doesn't contain anything for paint like carnuba wax,etc.

oh, to me it's a bike. it's going to get scratched and faded just like anything else that gets used outside.

one of those spray cleaners a lot of people use, maybe Honda polish, smells just like pledge

Makes sense to use it on Harley's since many of them are better suited for furniture than motorcycles.

j/k - We have a Harley. Still thought it was funny!!!
