Hopefully someone has a better idea but I would use kero and a rag to clean it then degreaser to get rid of the kero. You cant use abrasives or anything sharp as they could damage the surface or the bores. Any pitting and its best to take the engine out for a block plane
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

Anything abrasive will risk leaveing an unflat surface. The head gasket is steel and with the pressures that are there in use the tolerances are almost none.

If anything should be used which would be very unusual it would be suplied with the gasket
