Remember, it is the paint you are removing so the aluminum stripper will work on the painted steel.

A few other points:

Most body shops will skim coat the entire car so small scratches are not a problem at all, in fact if bondo is being used to fill in small dings they usually leave a rougher finish to help with adhesion. If the aluminum or steel is being straightened using traditional hammer and dolly techniques it can be very rough because of the filing that is done to find low and high spots in the process. Metal scrapers are fine, just use them carefully.

Don't use a steel brush on the aluminum. I am told it can leave embedded fragments in the aluminum that will rust. Always use a brash wire brush on the aluminum.

I'm pretty sure the steel solution will dissolve the aluminum.
