In my opinion many of you, maybe even the majority of the posters here equate higher price with a better product.
I use Pledge the vast majority of the time because you can buy it damn near anywhere, it works, its cheap, and leaves a nice wet look. 40 years of using it has proven to me it does not harm the paint on a car or motorcycle.
About a month ago I bought a bottle of BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Instant Detailer from Amazon for about $24 with shipping. Stuff works pretty good. Did half the hood of my 2013 Crystal red GS with it and half with the Pledge. Two out of three people I asked said the Pledge side looked better. I couldn't tell any difference personally. But it still ended up with Pledge being the better choice due to the cost.

Problem with Zaino Clear Seal is cost. Clear Seal runs $20 plus shipping for 8 ounces. Pledge is $5 for 32 ounces.
There is no way Clear Seal can cost that much to manufacture...no way! If Zaino is trying to recoup costs from originally designing the recipe and testing, that cost had to been returned many years ago.
I love Clear Seal but I will not pay the ridiculous price for it!

I tried Pledge on my car yesterday just because I could. My car is Arctic White and I couldn't believe the difference. I've never driven my car in the rain or washed it, so durability isn't an issue. I don't know that I'll use it all the time, but it sure shines like hell.

Wax a car and the very next day it's dirty again.
I just want fast, good, cheap. Lemon Pledge is the only product that meets these criteria.
And......has for 50 years.

Waxing longer lasting protection, it being dirty has nothing to do with the wax. If a car is properly maintained it will out shine pledge. You want something like that get a quick detailer.

Wow. An 8 1/2 year old, 65 post still active thread about furniture polish. Sheesh.
And I just brought it back to the top...
So- If ya wanna use Lemon Pledge, use it.
If ya don't wanna use Lemon Pledge, dont.
Pretty simple, really. No need to try to change someone else's mind over furniture polish.

I was asking a guy once what he did to get his black truck so shiny, and he pulled a spray bottle of Armor All extreme tire shine out of his truck ... he said he had overspray one day on his paint and wiped it down and liked the way it looked, so he did his whole truck that way ...
not sure it would actually hurt the paint, but why not use something that was designed to go on paint ?
don't know ...

Everyone knows that one Viagra mixed with water and sprayed on your headlights will do the same thing. However, if your headlights stay up for more than 4 hours I suggest that you immediately contact a mechanic.
