I'm surprised that this topic hasn't really come up before in a big way, but I have recently received a recommendation, tried it and become a convert.

I have a dozen tubes of Solvol Autosol now looking for a good home.

I was recommended to try "Brilliant" - www.brilliant.biz and bought it at Stafford. I got the "three bottles for £15 deal".

One is for aluminium and stainless.

One is for chrome

One is for hot areas such as chrome exhaust pipes.

It is a liquid in a small metal bottle, use a drop on a clean rag, apply and allow to dry then polish off with a microfibre cloth and buff.

Easy on the elbow, a higher shine polish than I have ever been able to achieve with Solvol and it seems to be easier to maintain with just a buff over with a microfibre even after being out in the rain (yes, contrary to popular belief I do actually get my Vincent wet!).

I throughly recommend you try it and see what you think yourself.

I think they do one for bodywork too. Haven't tried it.

Of course, no link myself to the company or the product - just looking to pass on a tip.

Oh - for Arthur F. - this is the polish I was chatting about on Sunday.

Cheers all,

I don't know that specific product but I haven't used Autosol for years as I found much better alternatives , Belgom Alu being one of my favourites.
Autosol is too abrasive , it doesn't protect the metal for long and the shine is not very long lasting.

This is a subject with as many possible threads as a discussion on oil. I used to use Mothers polish but was given a sample of Meguiars metal polish with canuba wax. Certainly gives a good shine with minimum effort & withstands the rain well. Other friends recommend "Purple" but I haven't tried it. Solvol is certainly too abrasive for modern chrome but is OK for removing light rust from shiny metal.
