Pledge

[JaredPointer]

Has anyone seen the new Pledge commercial where they talk about all the uses for Pledge? They even state a use (or possibly two) for the automobile. What do you guys think about that - a household cleaner being touted by the manufacturer for other uses, including automotive.

(I am aware that using Pledge is an "old-school" trick and that we do make use of other household products for auto cleaning.)

I've not seen that new commercial, I look forward to it.

I have it as a back up for jambs if I run out of product. That's about it. Anyone have other uses? I few sport bike owners swear by it for use on their wheels.

 

[Big Leegr]

Is that the "original" lemon Pledge or the new "multi-surface" Pledge?

If it's the new stuff, I'd guess that it would be for the glass and vinyl, rather than the paint of the "old skool" tricks.

I use it on my rear quarter panels before I do a burnout at the strip. It makes the rubber easier to clean off afterwards.:hotrod2:

I still use it on the dash boards of our work trucks since they wont spring for any true interior product, so i go to our housekeeping dept and get some. Been using it for 17 years now and have not had a problem the dash looks good when im done.

I once knew an old man who cleaned the exterior of his Crown VIc once a week with it for years. I was young and don't remember anything other than it always being very shiny all the time lol.

Same here I drove a company tuck for years and I used Pledge on the plastic interior it makes it look pretty good.

I have heard of using it on paint but never tried it myself.

I use it if an interior has woodgrain accents in it, but that's about all....

The multi surface Pledge is advertised for wood, plastic, granite and other surfaces. Might do a good job but I've liked the smell of the original and found it to be very oily. If the new stuff smells better and isn't oily, sure why not?

Bart,

This was an old trick used by new car dealers for their show room cars, they used Pledge to make the cars look real shiny and it also fills marring some.

I read this years ago on the net some where

I found that it streaks a lot.

I haven't seen that commercial but but I have seen the Pledge Fabric Sweeper for pet hair commercial. That is something that I could see myself trying out.

I was not impressed with the results that I got when I tried it.

Like you I always take my dog with me I make him ride in the rear portion of my Explorer and even a shop vac will not remove all the dog hair.

Best thing I have found so far is the pet brush from Auto geek it will not pick it up on the brush but it will pull it up out of the carpet and when I get a bunch of it pulled out I use my shop vac to clean it up.

With brush in one hand and shop vac in the other I can clean it better and faster than anything I have tried to date.

I get tired of cleaning up dog hair but I won't go anywhere without my dog.

Why not put a cover over the seat? Something smooth that won't allow the hair to become embedded?

They say to throw out the fabric sweeper when its full of hair. Dont do it , just use your vacuum and crevice tool and seperate the two rollers a little and suck the hair out of it. It works for me.

 

[Paul Sparks]

Used pledge when I had a M/C shop. Worked great on black painted honda motors and painted wheels. Also used a product called Endust. Have a golden retriever and a german shepard that love to ride in my firebird ragtop. Best thing I have found to remove the hair is the wife's Dyson Animal sweeper.

Yeah I use an old bed sheet and it helps but I still get hair in the car.
He don't get on the seats I make him ride in the portion behind the rear seat in my Explorer he has plenty of room back their.

 

[DJsDetails]

I fold the seats down in the back of my truck and put a sheet over them. Keeps the dog hair manageable.
