Power washing will get rid of the grease, but it won't touch the soot, grit and baked on valve oil that dulls the jacket and tender. The only way to get rid of it is by scrubbing. It will clean up pretty good, but unless you use a REAL good paint (like imron and the like) it never comes back a good as it started.
