I use a bench grinder with a wire wheel on it.

best time so far 14.3 @ 101.1mph(no traction)
fastest 2GNT with a hitch! until proven wrong...

If you have access and you are going to rebuild the head the best way is to glass bead them, but protect the stem. When you clean them no matter what method you use, make sure they go back into the same port they came out of. Valves wear in to the seat they are matched with, if you swap them around, or put them into another head, you HAVE TO do a valve job, or they wont seal properly. This is coming from a guy that worked in a machine shop for 3 years so trust me.

I wouldn't use a whire wheel on the valves I wouldn't want to score them up or mess with the seating surface.

Use some good degreaser, and you should be able to get that off, or machine shops have good cleaners they can do sonic cleaning or bead bast em.

Some kitchen degreaser work very well.
