hey dude.

Yes you can brush paint Pledge clear.

Though you will get a smoother finish from an airbrush.

I brush on Pledge and humbrol gloss and matte, As long as youre careful not to blob on too much and use a good quality brush, the finish turns out fine.

Yeah you can get a nicer gloss finish brushing it on in multiple thin coats, better than you can through an airbrush
