AIO non abrasive?

I know it has chemical cleaners, but not any abrasives right? I want to know if I can use it often on my 4runner's front cover (often as in every 2-3 weeks). I drive an hour to work on the highway every day and need to deep clean often to remove imbedded bug particles and grime. I figure claying that often wouldn't be good (I'd like to). I can get the front end clean by vigorously washing, applying bug and tar remover on trouble spots, and then repeating that process until clean, but by the time it's clean...it's lost the luster the rest of the car has. All these bugs need to hurry and die!!

I spot clay almost every wash and have no problems.



It says on the bottle of AIO that it is non abrasive but I have removed minor marring with it. It also cleans up compounding haze pretty good to. So I have my doubts that it is non abrasive.
 
Cool...can someone recommend a very mild clay that sheers minimally? Clay does an excellent job on the where the big bugs splat. Actually...the whole front of my car is like one big graveyard. I really would like to still use a little AIO or something else to restore the front end every time. Thanks for the reply...

I agree 100%
 
Try a little test: Pour a little AIO on a known non-abrasive applicator and wipe aggressively on a sacrificial CD. Basically do the MF scratch test with AIO. You'll know right away if AIO is mechanically abrasive. No guessing involved.
