Right, i want too raw my alluminium frame down; so that i can polish it up

What is best to use?

And is there any particular way to do it?

Depends what finish is on it? Powder, annodise, rattle can etc.

Once it is stripped the best way to polish it up is with autosol.

do not have it blasted obviously, and dont go scrapeing away at the paint,as it will leave scratches behind....

steel wool will just make your polishing up harder, because you will have to buff out all your marks left befind...
