Don't use steel wool. Use Scotchbrite instead. Pads of it can be
obtained at your local hardware store. Steel wool can leave very
small traces of the steel in the aluminum which will eventually
score the surfaces. Probably not significantly enough to cause
mechanical failure, but possibly to cause problems with joints.
Be sure and use Penetrox A or some other conductive grease between
telescoping parts of aluminum.
