I know it's impractical to do, but for the same reason (galvanic corrosion) you should not use the same sand or glass beads on aluminum and steel. We used to have two blasting cabinets in the hangar; one with glass beads for aluminum and one with sand for steel. But most hobbyists can't do that due to space and cost.

You should not use steel wool on aluminum. Little bits of steel will get imbedded in the aluminum and cause galvanic corrosion, which we used to call dissimilar metal corrosion.
