yes for over 35 years
no good for engine cases unless your want a mirror finish, but fab on the side cases and as it has wax it lasts and lasts

think i have said this before sorry


Mentioned it earlier also, a squirt of degreaser and a good rub with aluminium foil seems to do the trick on engine block alloy

Two ten mile trial trips today , good to be back on a big z, not an over powered crazy modern bike but plenty of smiles per mile and even some nice comments from some random stranger at a fuel stop

Hi Damien
very nice bike! Great you covered 100 miles with it! It's only the beginning of a great experience;
Pity you have an A2 seat cover on your A1 bike.... but I'm a rivet counter so don't bother.
Enjoy the bike, let the good times roll !!!!

This arrived today, not too cheap but not as bad as some people were asking... well chuffed but what should I do with it, nuts to putting in the Bag and leaving it under the seat.... suppose it will go in the cupboard and I know it’s there

Autosol has it's uses Andrew, but I'd agree not on 'already' polished cases.

This was the lump on my old Z1B when I first got her...

After A LOT of hours with a scotch pad, tooth brush and Autosol it came up like this...

That said, no amount of hand polish can match a proper set of polishing mops.

My old Z Thou which I did on the buffer. :D
