Due to the fact that steel wool is harder and more abrasive than rubbing compound, and will leave particles lodged in the pocks, I would not recommend it. We learned about this when I was in the Air Force, because proud crew chiefs back in WWII would use steel wool to polish their planes. If you have ever used steel wool - Brillo or SOS pads - to polish an alluminum pot, it will make it really shiny, but--- If they (airplanes - and pots also) sat for any length of time in the weather, they would notice little red spots, which were bits of steel wool stuck in the aluminum skin. Medium or Fine Cut Cleaner is your best bet, or something equivalent. I used to detail professionally and I always used Fine Cut Cleaner, specifically for buffing machines.
