Yes. You wipe the surface off with a paper towel and the chips come with the grease. Then run the bolt in and out a few times and whip the remaining grease off the bolt threads each time the bolt comes out. Repeat until clean. If you really want it clean and the tapped hole is blind spray some degreaser in the hole and run the bolt in and out wiping between.
