I guess it depends on what you are polishing & how much elbow grease you will use - my buffing wheel gives great results but it ain't a ten minute job.I find that Solvol Autosol is great on chrome but when used on highly polished aluminium it leaves a dull finish compared to a very fine finishing soap.

I did google gagga but only got soap finish a wood subject! I've got saddle soap but not for my bike saddle, I polished that and slid onto the tank!
It's the fine grade soap block that I load onto my buffing wheel that gives you the mirror type finish.
Hi TedThanks for the link, it seems I already have soaps then, just never heard of them called that before. I don't have the facilities to get a buffing wheel and rely on using a hand drill for the same job. I'm doing some polishing today, wish me luck!
