Chlorine causes stress corrosion cracking, especially in magnesium/aluminum
alloys. A lot of cleaners also use silica-based abrasives whereas Bon Ami is
Diatomaceous Earth which is basically little diatom skeletons that are
calcium.
Don't axe me why I know dis stuff and can't remember where I parked my car.

Subject: Bon Ami vs. Ajax
Way back in the dark places of my memory, I found the following:
Bon Ami is better for lapping because it doesn't have chlorine in it and
Ajax does.
What difference that makes if you clean it well I don't know. Nor where I
heard it or why I remember it. Maybe it's the answer to an FAA question.
