It looks pretty clean but it could be cleaned more thoroughly in my opinion. I would first use some mineral spirits or denatured alcohol with the scotch brite pad and clean it a little more noting not to sand it and create low spots. Then I will usually take a single edge razor blade at this point and back drag it across the surface several times to clean it up. If you have an area that still has some gasket left on it, use the razor blade very gently in a forward direction to clean it off and then back drag it again. The goal is to not create any deep scratches or gouges. Finish by wiping clean with either of the solvents on a clean rag. This is my process and I am sure others will other options for you. Best of luck on your repair.
