No, especially if you want to polish the heatsink like you said.

Wire wheel bit of any kind will scratch and gouge the surface with deep scratches that you will not be able to polish out.

Lacquer Thinner is non oily as mineral spirits is. Use Lacquer Thinner. More than likely minerals spirits wont cut the paint.

See if you can get some Circa 1850. That stuff will make paint fall off metal without any scrapping.
