Finally, my first 360 and goals for it! I'll be asking a lot of questions.

Car wash will get them plenty clean to handle and port. I wouldn't pay a machine shop to hot tank them before you port, because you'll want to clean them after you port for sure. The ones in the video, I cleaned at the car wash after they were all done. A messy job, though, as I high pressured every hole, port, guide, etc etc.....
And remember safety glasses.... :)
Started porting today following the videos. Safety glasses on :)
