Autosol is best for harder british ally but softer ally comes up good with Belgom alu
specially jap ally. Not sure where buell ally falls between the two. Hope this helps.

Just had a chat with a mate with an old meridan triumph that has a bare ally tank and seat unit made by the tank shop up scotland an he uses 'autosol aluminium' its less gritty than the standard stuff. He says after a good going over it bends the needle on the glintometer

Solvo works for me......
