Best way to clean/prep spars for gluing

[High Country 69]

So my first wing is all set up and ready for gluing together, just waiting for my wing tanks to get done which should be tomorrow, and I will test fit them to make sure all is good. If so I just need to final clean the spars and glue. I was just thinking of cleaning everything real good with denatured alcohol then wiping it all down again with acetone, will this be enough or should I do something different. I want to make sure I have the best bond that I can get. My build manual just refers to using the "de-greaser" provided with the kit but even if I did have it, it would be over 25 years old.

Scotchbrite and a quick alcohol wipe was my method - However, I used Hysol 9430 adhesive, which is what Kitfox switched to - Better check shelf life of your adhesive - 9430 is only good for 2 years shelf.

Thanks for the reply Ed, I have already wiped them down with the red scotchbrite pads about 1" wide. My Hysol is new just got it from Kitfox. So it sounds like I will probably be good to just wipe them down with alcohol and acetone. If anyone else thinks otherwise please let me know why and what else I should do.
