Phil,

I found that household cleansers, such as "Comet" worked best,  
depends a bit on the parts in question and how contaminated they are,  
needs to be well rinsed.
Acetone seemed to evaporate too quickly, and spread the grease around.
Auto body shops sell water soluble cleaners, these work well.

Before bonding, take a water spray bottle and spray on the surfaces.  
If clean the water will lie flat,
if dirty, the water will bead.
