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.

Pledge works. I use it on the CF pipe on the SV. Never used it as a total bike cleaner though...

I don't actually have to use anything. My bike has no paint on it.
