AUTOSOL
Autosol on AutoMotoPart is a seven-product surface-care range. Four specialist 75ml tubes cover Scratch Remover, Stainless Steel Polish & Cleaner, Aluminium Polish & Cleaner and M1 Chrome Plated Plastic Cleaning Polish. Multi-Purpose Metal Polish appears in a 75ml tube and larger 750ml container, while Liquid Chrome Cleaner is supplied in 250ml. These products address different substrates, contamination and finish expectations rather than forming simple small, medium and large versions of one polish.
Identify the base material and every coating before choosing a product. Uncoated aluminium, polished stainless steel, solid chrome and a thin chrome-look layer on plastic need different treatment. The current AutoMotoPart selection contains 7 Autosol items, led by 7 valeting entries. These Autosol figures describe the range on this page rather than every product the brand may make elsewhere.
Autosol specifies Aluminium Polish for uncoated aluminium and formulates M1 for chrome-plated synthetic materials with minimal abrasion. Stainless Steel Polish is for polished stainless, while Multi-Purpose Metal Polish covers a published range of bare metals and is intended to remove oxidation and tarnish. Scratch Remover is aimed at eligible synthetic glazing and clear plastic, not every painted panel, screen or safety visor. Liquid Chrome Cleaner has a broad metallic-surface description, but the exact product instructions still control use on a particular plating, brushed finish or coated component.
Wash away loose grit and work on a cool surface. Test an inconspicuous area with a clean soft cloth, using minimal pressure and product. Stop if colour transfers from a coating, gloss becomes uneven or fine scratches increase. Do not polish hot exhausts, brake discs, pedal faces, steering controls, camera lenses, anti-glare screens or optical safety equipment unless explicitly approved. Keep residue out of seams, textured plastic and food-contact areas, and prevent run-off reaching watercourses. Buff only as directed and use separate cloths for each metal so black residue or abrasive particles do not cross-contaminate a delicate finish. Polishing removes a small amount of material; it cannot replace missing plating, repair deep scratches or reverse corrosion beneath a coating.

Autosol: understand the range before choosing
Autosol develops cleaning and polishing products for distinct metals and finishes. The AutoMotoPart selection includes specialist pastes for stainless steel, uncoated aluminium and chrome-plated plastic, a scratch remover for compatible clear plastics, multi-purpose metal polish in two sizes and a liquid chrome cleaner. Similar packaging does not make their abrasive action or substrate boundaries interchangeable.
AutoMotoPart currently lists 7 Autosol items. The largest Autosol groups are 7 valeting entries. Autosol totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact Autosol listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.
What the Autosol page actually covers
| Product group in this range | Current entries | Selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Valeting | 7 | Use Scratch Remover only on compatible synthetic glazing or clear plastic after checking optical and coating approval. |
Five of the seven listings are 75ml tubes, but each specialist name controls its task. Two products are Multi-Purpose Metal Polish in 75ml and 750ml sizes; the same formulation name makes pack volume the main distinction there. Liquid Chrome Cleaner is the only 250ml liquid. The evidence does not support using any one product across all vehicle surfaces.
Build a reliable shortlist
Determine whether the part is solid metal, plated metal, chrome-plated plastic, anodised aluminium, lacquered metal, painted trim or clear synthetic glazing. Check for a protective topcoat and establish whether the target is dirt, tarnish, oxidation, haze or a physical scratch before selecting the mildest suitable product.
| Check | Why it matters | Useful evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Substrate | Metal, plastic and plated plastic respond differently to abrasion | Part specification, magnet or discreet inspection without assumptions |
| Coating | Clearcoat, anodising and thin plating can be removed by polishing | Manufacturer finish information and inconspicuous test |
| Defect | Dirt, oxidation, haze and a deep scratch need different treatment | Clean inspection under even light |
| Finish texture | Brushed grain and mirror polish require different motion and expectations | Existing finish direction and product approval |
| Working method | Amount, pressure, drying and buffing affect material removal | Current Autosol label and technical guidance |
| Adjacent parts | Residue can stain porous trim or contaminate brakes and controls | Masking plan, clean cloths and controlled application |
If material identity remains uncertain, pause rather than choosing Multi-Purpose by default. A hidden chrome-look plastic or clear-coated alloy can be permanently dulled before a test patch reveals the mistake.
Scratch Remover for compatible clear plastics
Autosol describes its 75ml Scratch Remover for worn and finely scratched synthetic glazing such as compatible convertible rear windows, plastic lenses, instrument panels, visors and windscreens. Those examples are conditional on the component allowing polish. Optical coatings, hard coats, tints and anti-fog layers may react differently, and a safety-critical visor may require replacement rather than abrasive restoration.
Clean both sides to identify where the defect lies and remove grit without dry wiping. Test away from the main field of view, use a clean soft applicator and work only the small area directed. Deep gouges, cracks, crazing, delamination or distortion will not become structurally safe through polishing. Reinspect in daylight and at night because local optical distortion or glare may be more apparent under point light.
Stainless steel and aluminium products
Stainless Steel Polish & Cleaner is formulated for polished stainless surfaces and Autosol instructs application with a soft cloth followed by buffing after the characteristic residue develops. A brushed stainless grain should not automatically be polished in circles because local gloss can change. Identify decorative coatings and follow the appliance or component maker where finish direction matters.
Aluminium Polish & Cleaner is an ammonia-free product specified by Autosol for uncoated aluminium. Many vehicle wheels, trim pieces and engine components are anodised, painted, lacquered or clear-coated, so visible aluminium colour is insufficient. Oxidation under a failed clearcoat needs refinishing, not aggressive rubbing through the remaining coating. Avoid polished residue entering bearings, belt paths or electrical connectors.
M1 chrome-plated plastic polish
M1 is a specialist cleaning polish for chrome-plated synthetic materials. Autosol describes fine polishing substances and minimal abrasion because decorative chrome on plastic can be far thinner and more vulnerable than solid metal plating. This makes M1 the relevant candidate for supported plastic chrome, but it still cannot repair peeling, bubbling, cracks or exposed base plastic.
Confirm that the trim is actually chrome-plated plastic and not painted silver, vacuum-metallised under lacquer or wrapped film. Work by hand with very light pressure and keep product from textured surrounds. Stop immediately if the cloth picks up coating colour or the surface becomes patchy. Pressure washers and strong solvents can worsen damaged plating after the polish is removed.
Multi-Purpose Metal Polish and liquid cleaner
Multi-Purpose Metal Polish appears in 75ml and 750ml sizes. Autosol lists metals including chrome, aluminium, stainless steel, copper and brass and describes removal of oxidation, corrosion and stains with a protective finish. Material suitability still depends on the surface being an appropriate polishable metal rather than a delicate coating, brushed effect or intentionally patinated finish.
Liquid Chrome Cleaner is a separate 250ml cleaning and care format for listed metallic surfaces. Shake or dispense only as its label directs and prevent liquid flowing into joints or porous materials. Do not infer that the word chrome permits use on every chrome-look plastic. Use the smallest amount that works and buff away residue before it hardens around badges and seams.
Preparation, cloth control and inspection
Wash and dry the part, then decontaminate safely so embedded grit cannot cut random tracks. Work in shade on a cool surface and protect neighbouring rubber, paint, textured plastic and openings. Wear the protection and provide ventilation stated in the safety data. Never use a powered pad unless Autosol and the component maker approve the speed, material and process.
Assign separate applicators and buffing cloths to aluminium, chrome and harder metals, labelling them if reused. Fold to expose a clean face and replace any cloth dropped on the floor. After polishing, inspect under diffuse and direct light from several angles. Remove all residue, wash hands and store containers closed. Reassess corrosion or scratches that remain instead of escalating pressure automatically.
From identification to a checked result
| Stage | Good practice for this range | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Identify | Confirm substrate, coating, finish texture and defect depth | Choosing polish from colour alone |
| Prepare | Wash, decontaminate, cool, dry and protect adjacent parts | Rubbing trapped grit into the finish |
| Test | Use the mildest matching product on a hidden small area | Starting with a full-panel aggressive application |
| Polish | Follow amount, motion, pressure and buffing instructions | Letting residue dry in seams or on trim |
| Inspect | Check gloss, coating transfer, haze and optical clarity | Repeating until a coating is visibly thinned |
Record the exact Autosol product and the confirmed substrate, especially on mixed-material wheels or trim. A future cleaner can then avoid applying aluminium or metal polish to an adjacent chrome-plated plastic section.
Reading real Autosol references
The Autosol names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal Autosol recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within Autosol, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.
| Example listing | What to verify beyond the name |
|---|---|
| Autosol Scratch Remover 75ml | Scratch Remover, stainless, aluminium, M1, multi-purpose or liquid chrome product |
| Autosol Stainless Steel Polish & Cleaner 75ml Tube | Solid material, plating, clearcoat, anodising, paint or synthetic glazing |
| Autosol Aluminium Polish & Cleaner 75ml Tube | Defect depth, finish grain, safe pressure, working time and buffing method |
| Autosol Chrome Plated Plastic Cleaning Polish 75ml Tube | Dedicated cloth, adjacent-surface masking, optical or friction-surface restrictions |
| Multi-Purpose Metal Polish - 75ml | Scratch Remover, stainless, aluminium, M1, multi-purpose or liquid chrome product |
| Liquid Chrome Cleaner - 250ml | Solid material, plating, clearcoat, anodising, paint or synthetic glazing |
| Multi-Purpose Metal Polish - 750ml | Defect depth, finish grain, safe pressure, working time and buffing method |
Five 75ml products can look alike on a shelf. Keep the complete specialist title visible throughout the job and never identify a tube solely by its cap, colour or residue.

- Applying aluminium polish to an anodised, lacquered or painted alloy surface.
- Changing the grain of brushed stainless by polishing it as a mirror finish.
- Trying to remove a deep crack or unsafe visor damage with Scratch Remover.
- Working on a hot exhaust or contaminating a brake, pedal or grip surface.
- Using one dirty cloth across steel, aluminium, chrome and clear plastic.
- Increasing pressure after coating colour appears on the applicator.
- Allowing polish residue to dry in porous trim, lettering, seams or openings.
Autosol questions and answers
Q: What Autosol products are available here?
A: The range covers specialist plastic, stainless, aluminium and plated-plastic polish, multi-metal polish and liquid cleaner.
Q: Are all 75ml Autosol tubes the same?

Q: Can Scratch Remover be used on any windscreen?
A: No. It is for compatible synthetic glazing and clear plastics, subject to component approval and coating checks.
Q: Is Aluminium Polish suitable for painted wheels?
A: Not automatically. Autosol specifies uncoated aluminium; painted, anodised or clear-coated wheels need suitable care.
Q: Can Stainless Steel Polish be used on brushed steel?
A: Only if the finish guidance permits it; polishing can create an uneven glossy patch across a grain.
Q: What is M1 intended for?
A: M1 is a low-abrasion cleaning polish for supported chrome-plated synthetic materials.
Q: Can M1 repair peeling chrome?
A: No. Peeling, bubbling or exposed plastic requires refinishing or replacement.
Q: What differs between 75ml and 750ml Metal Polish?
A: They share the Multi-Purpose Metal Polish name; pack quantity is the principal evidenced difference.
Q: Is Liquid Chrome Cleaner the same as Metal Polish paste?
A: No. It is a separate liquid product with its own instructions and supported surfaces.
Q: Why test before polishing?
A: A test can reveal coating transfer, haze, colour change or unsuitable abrasion before the main area is affected.
Q: Can one cloth be used for every product?
A: No. Separate clean cloths help prevent abrasive and dark metal residue transferring to softer finishes.
Q: Will polish remove deep corrosion?
A: It may improve eligible surface oxidation, but pitting, failed coating or structural corrosion needs proper repair.
