You're right, and if you have anodised bolts you're better off avoiding it, use a non - caustic solution ie. motrax Xtreem wash and after wash aswell if you like. I've seen the test, 2 pots with a bolt in, after an hour (not that you leave your bike for an hour - but meant to be after time) the bolt colouring comes off,and paint work goes streaky... The other one to use is something called Hippo, but motrax one is really good and come down in price now at 4.99 or 16.99 for a 5 litre bottle.
becareful on autoglym too, great stuff, but the visor/screen polish leaves a residue, as someone pointed out, it does, but most people don't realize that if you don't get that residue off straightaway and leave traces, it starts rotting the plastic and looks like it's eating it. I know of someone fighting a case on his visor, it became brittle after use of this stuff. and my mate andy used the xmas pack he got containing the screen stuff and only when i told him about it, he showed me his bike and the same thing is happening on his screen.
Autoglym are good, but bin the screen and visor polish it's not worth it.
