Silvo itself recommends it for Aluminium. Says so on the can.

If I'm trying to use it on a really dull unrestored surface, I'll mix it with a little kerosene first to cut down the surface.
Some of those older fluted side caravans and buses had anodized finish which really slows down the process.
Make up metal polish yourself. All ingredients available and will be cheaper. If I was to polish another caravan(at this stage I doubt it) this is what I would try.
