    A little brake clean. Then grease what you need to grease.

    We just use the hot pressure washer to remove the grease, plug all the intake side ports first. Then just blow it dry, be sure to get the exhaust ports dry.

    What he said, pressure washer to get the bulk off and brake clean for the final. Use a blow gun to dry it off after
