Works for me.

I polished the black chrome off the silencer on my FZR250 with autosol.
Unintentional but results looked good and it was 'different' maybe even better.
But I used Brasso to polish the platter of my 1980 Luxman TT.

CD player, TTs, Phono stages, Pre amps, Power amps, Integrated amps, DACs, Streamers, Speakers and a bunch of cables.

can the tube be removed ? I turn wood and go from 400 grit to 12000 grit .
If tube can be removed I would do it for you on my lathe I polish wood up then seal with ca glue.

Yes probably all metal polishes have avrasives in, the question is how course they are, and my Solvol seemed in the 70s to have a course grit that one could hear abrasing.
Many years ago I worked for a (small scale) jewellery manufacturer.
Polishing was done in a large motor-driven drum filled with 4mm wooden cubes impregnated with a mixture of beeswax and ground cuttle fish powder (as abrasive). The result was phenomenal but the process took hours ....
