ediddy Posted February 17, 2011 #1 Posted February 17, 2011 My son was at the pharmacy getting a prescription filled and saw a can of this polish. The clerk said they didn't think too much about carrying it in the store but since word has gotten out that they have it they can't keep it on the shelf. It supposedly cleans and prevents finger prints. I used some on the glass frame of my autographed picture of Larry Pegram on his racing bike. It really leaves a shine. I'm going to try it on my bike. Just wondering if anyone has tried it.
Guest scarylarry Posted February 17, 2011 #2 Posted February 17, 2011 I been using pledge for awhile now and no complaints
saddlebum Posted February 17, 2011 #3 Posted February 17, 2011 I used to use it years ago. I even used it as a mold release when working with fiberglass. Recently its been looked upon as a none toxic wax for candle making. It apparently has maney other benifits as well. check out this list of uses http://www.texasdrone.com/Beeswax-Uses.htm#Baking
Rockdoc Posted February 17, 2011 #4 Posted February 17, 2011 Bees wax is just the begining. Has anyone tried propolis? I've got a couple of hives here in the UK. Been doing it with my Dad for many years, but last year was my first 'solo' season. Good luck and fine weather bagged us 78 lbs of honey plus a jar of prop. Its worth a go if you've never tried it. Its often a component in beeswax hence all the goodies you get when you smell and proper candle
Drkngas Posted February 18, 2011 #5 Posted February 18, 2011 I been using pledge for awhile now and no complaints My Harley neighbor cleans EVERYTHING with Pledge. I even saw him spraying every wire under the hood of his car with Pledge last week.
Yammer Dan Posted February 18, 2011 #6 Posted February 18, 2011 I've been wanting to try the Bees. My Grandpa had several hives.
RandyR Posted February 18, 2011 #7 Posted February 18, 2011 funny this thread comes up. There was a 1 night a week for 5 weeks class on beekeeping at a community college about 45 miles away that started this week, and I almost signed up. I see a beekeeper who's only 20 miles away offers 1 on 1 instruction including building a hive, and he'll sell the materials as well as a starter queen with some worker bees. Bees wax is what I've always used to wax my bow (archery) string. And Grandma used to use it to seal foods that were canned in a pressure cooker as well as make candles. I'm putting in some large flower beds and thought the bees would help pollinate the plants.
kevin-vic-b.c. Posted February 18, 2011 #8 Posted February 18, 2011 My Harley neighbor cleans EVERYTHING with Pledge. I even saw him spraying every wire under the hood of his car with Pledge last week. I have seen a few dealers that use it to detail the bikes in the showroom.... great to use on windshields and helmet visors. It does not last as long as a say Turtle detailing spray but if you clean and detail your bike as often as I do.... it is excellent and inexpensive.
Rockdoc Posted February 18, 2011 #9 Posted February 18, 2011 Re Beekeeping, Yammer Dan and Randy R if you're interested in starting this amazing craft send me a PM and I'll give you some pointers on getting going, and some of the pitfalls to avoid. I have a number of contacts around the USA who communicate with us here in the UK on similar problems and solutions. I'm sure there may be some forum members who keep bees so feel free to jump in
Rockdoc Posted February 18, 2011 #10 Posted February 18, 2011 Oh, you would have to go and change name in mid stream!! Oh well, same message to Venturous, PM if you want to talk bees.
