Autosol has always worked well for me in the past.

Always fancied trying using chocolate as a polish after reading this link:
https://www.trackertrail.com/survival/fire/cokeandchocolatebar/
Think how stinky your hands get after using Autosol, wouldn't Dairy Milk be much more fragrant? Instead of trying to rub those white polish patches off areas that shouldn't have polish on, just lick the chocolate off. One for Dodsi's photo-experiments series methinks.

ok so thats paint removal but buffing with a mop works well but you usually need to finnish with solvo and then something like brasso .

Wet'n'Dry, working up to about 1500, then Autosol, then Brasso, then Belgom Alu.

Then frequent polishing just for fun.
