Gunk degreaser and a pressure wash tbh. Then I'd get some kurust on, then rattle can any areas looking a bit worse for wear. Worst places are under the ECU tray, inner wings etc.

Once degreased and prssure washed down, maybe even steam cleaned if you can, use some wire brushes on a rill, can get a selection pack from local diy shop, should get the surface good and ready for painting
