Nope, not aggressive at all. It's safe for the operator and the work. This isn't the final step, I use NEVR-DULL wadding polish for a mirror shine.
Polishing metal or plastic or whatever is the process of removing material, or
leveling the surface. The smoother the surface is, the shinier it gets.
Here's a crank I did a couple of weeks ago. It was scratched, dented and the anodizing was worn off where the toe straps rubbed.
