After dry, "Pledge" is a sorta cheap way to deal with a better surface,
some of the "spray on, wipe off" helps cleaning after.
I REALLY shy away from the "miracle polishes" (Nu-finish, etc) since a
lot have silicone in them, thus repairs/patches down the road don't stick well.


If you are worried about silicon wax it makes no sense to spray with
Pledge, which is a silicone oil based spray.


Not the last I saw, but there are always changes.

BTW, it's "silicone", not "silicon" (which is used in making PC chips, etc.)
I would have to go and look to see what Pledge is now, I may have to say, "I was incorrect in today's formulation".
I have no issue in learning new stuff.
