The purpose of the clearcoat is to protect what ever finish is under it, including a polished or scuffed finish.
So, you wouldn't need to scotchbrite it, treat it like it's paint.

My apologies if I wasn't clear.
Clear-coats don't stick to the raw aluminium well, those that do turn yellow in sunlight, so you'd have a tarnished coloured finish.
If you got a scratch in brushed aluminium, you just hit it with scotchbrite and you'd never know...
However, if you get a scratch in the clear coat you'd find it much harder to "blend" the scratch out either by polishing with a compound or by re-painting with touch up clear-coat.
