So many different ways, just find whats works best for your needs.
I use flapper wheel and then emery clothe by hand. I wont use acid. I then use a ball hone to add fresh crosshatch. Not really needed but I feel it makes a difference in my rebuilds.
My 3 step process in pic.

Scotch Brite and kerosene ,on occasion Easy off oven cleaner .

Kevin what grit flap wheel do you use is that a compressed air handpiece I have a dremel tool with variable speed have considered using that I enjoy the video here the op uses a foredom variable speed unit and nails that are slotted to take the emery paper
-
Mine is a generic foredom with foot pedal. I use 80 and 120 depending on how much transfer.
-
I have used the acid method with scotch bright many times. Then on the final clean up I will use a ball hone.
I think the ball hone will remove aluminum transfer much faster then it will chrome used in chainsaws due to the aluminum being softer.
-
Just be careful if you use a flap wheel .I ground right through the plating once on an 034 Stihl .They make flap wheels using Scotch-Brite which would probably be a better choice .
