Ain't it great? - TF FreeClimb 07-15-2005, 11:15 AM Wash with soap and water. Polish with Pledge. Ain't it great? - TF Is this the same pledge used for furniture polish? If so, I did a quick google on their products and there seems to be many different varieties of Pledge... is there a particular one that you would recommend? Pledge Wipes Pledge with Orange Oil Pledge Lemon Trigger Pledge Multi-Surface Pledge Extra Moisturizing Based on the pictures and brief info, I'd think the Multi-Surface would be the choice but I have also heard a recommendation to use a citrus based polisher.

I have always heard, and use, 'Lemon Pledge', but don't know if the lemon does anything or even if there is actually anything besides artificial lemon fragrance in it. - TF midlife_xs's 07-15-2005, 03:29 PM Hi all, I'm wondering what you guys use to keep your ti frames nice and shiny.

FC wash with Meguiars car wash, rinse, dry and if brushed finish, touch up blemishes with few passes of 3M scotch pads, wipe clean and Meguiars Quick Detailer. cadence90 07-20-2005, 07:14 AM Soap. Water. Pledge. jsp1210 08-14-2005, 09:40 AM I find motorcycle spray cleaner is best. No need for water ever! I use it on entire bike and components. It does no harm to rubber, tape or leather. It is designed to keep motorcycle frame and engines clean which using water on is a huge risk. It is also is obviously a great de-greaser. fctd 08-22-2005, 11:58 AM If you need to seriously clean a Ti frame use Blue Magic metal cleaner you can pick up at Walmart automotive. Works great!

FC After you wipe it down use Mothers aluminum polish for the tough spots and then pledge. It will look like new. Chris V. Fort Worth jsp1210 11-05-2005, 12:25 PM I trtied something new this morning before my ride. I rubbed my frame down with a fine steel wool (avoiding contact with labels) before polishing up with my Honda spray cleaner. Awesome! Disclaimer: Would not do this to painted Ti. |
