Don't know if there is a best way unless your prepared to put hours n hours into the prep' (90% of any good job) but there are quick ways

I used industrial nitromors (bodyshop suppliers should have) and the paint bubbled clean off, then stitched cotton , cotton and felt mops on my angle grinder with cutting and polishing soap.

When I polish the bike (spray wax) I go over the frame and swing arm with the residue on the fleece cloth and that's been enough to keep it gleeming.

You can see what I done here:

My prep' time was very low so overall finish isn't the best. If you polish up with soaps avoid abrasive cleaners like brasso, autosol etc and just use cream cleaners or wax. Never used the alu before but have heard it is good.

MM!
