If you sandblast a greasy part, you actually POUND the grease INTO the surface.

You should ALWAYS degrease BEFORE sandblasting.

As for naptha etc. These items are really only good at removing OILS, not greases. You need the action of sodium hydroxide (lye) which chemicallly changes the grease into a water miscible soap.
