Myself I think a clean m/c is is a way of show pride of ownership. I don't even like my m/c to have dust on it. After the lawn guys get done mowing the yard there is always that bit dust & stuff blowing around, which seems to be on the m/c. I always I'm wiping it down to get the dust off. I will give the lemon pledge a try as it will be nice just to wipe it down shine & smell clean
