I doubt a '78 Fuji has much in the way of stainless steel parts on it.
Steel wool is fine for removing rust but is overkill for just grime; use a solvent for that.
Steel wool is bad on aluminum parts; most of them are anodized and the SW will take that off. It also doesn't leave the best finish on Al (IMHO).
