Do it right

Remove all the hardware out of the engine compartment.

Steam clean if possible or pressure wash. Use a putty knive for those thick greasey areas

Wash with hot soapy water and rinse.

Once dry wipe down with grease and wax remover.

Weld all unnecessary holes, DA sand, fill were necessary and prep for paint




Agree 100%




Ajax or Comet and a Scotch-brite pad do a good job of scuffing and cleaning at the same time. I've used that method twice to prep engine bays for paint with good results.
