It appears to be not recommended for highly polished aluminum because it would dull it somewhat.
How does that impact its use on chrome?

I love this product but would never use it on high polished aluminum, as a matter of fact there’s very little products I would use :lol:
I use P21S almost exclusively on chrome and other clad metals to remove rust and heavy oxidation and also to clean carbon buildup on exhaust tips .

For polishing my go to products are the Nuvite series of polish
