although I prefer those artificial chamois cloths. According to the manufacturer, Pledge is a no-no, as well as polishing compounds. These products have a coating applied to them that can react chemically and be rubbed off with polishing agents.

It doesn't matter to me what anyone uses - I was just pointing out that the manufacturer itself has specific recommendations and gives reasons for those, as well as voiding the warranty. The manufacturer does not make or sell any competing cleaning/polishing products, so they have nothing to gain there. Otherwise, everyone is free to do what they please.
