Cleaning Anodized Finish?

Bohica said:

I have a nice anodized black finish on my Santa Cruz, and I'm wondering if
anyone here can offer recommendations on the best way to clean it. Someone
recommended Armorall to me, but I've heard conflicting stories about whether
this might ultimately ruin anodized finishes. Any thoughts on ways to clean
and preserve the finish on this bike, which I want to keep for the next 5 to
7 years, would be greatly appreciated.

Pledge! Yes, people like to leave dirt on their bikes, but I don't.
After gently washing them, I use Pledge and microfiber cloth to shine
and protect. It works on all finishes, never streaks, and smells lemony
fresh. 🙂

I don't LIKE to leave dirt on my bikes, I just don't care about it
enough to remove it if it doesn't affect performance.

OK. It's an OCD thing for me.

Go with what Sir Ride A Lot says. And if you want my
two cents Sheila Shine.
