Lemon Pledge is what we use at A Bicycle Odyssey, in Sausalito, CA.

I use "Country Fresh" Pledge at home ... because that's what my fiancee happened to have in the pantry. It's been getting a lot of use lately on my Ron Cooper, considering the amount of rain we've been having lately.

Yes. I ride my good bike in the rain. It's too much of a pleasure to ride to leave it indoors just because it's wet outside.

Last week I posted a question about waxing the paint on a new Mercian with stoved enamel paint. I followed up with a thanks of sorts for all the amazing tips I got. I've had several request for a list of all the waxing tips I received. Sorry to say I didn't compile them all. The shear variety of tips indicates there is no single generally accepted scientific method to get the best shine. Waxing seems to be one of those things steeped in legend, mystery, superstition, etc. I'd love to hear from the professionals on the list and invite anyone to post their secret formulas.
