I'm about to paint some fascia board and drip edge. The drip edge is
in very good shape, no chipped paint, or peeling.

Is there something I can wipe it down with that will clean it and
ready it for paint?

Or, should I "scuff" it lightly with a fine sand paper first?

12 year old latex paint.

Thanks.

Use a primer designed for galvanized.

Check. The primer works on "painted metal".

Anything I can wipe it down with that evaporates fast? Surely, I
cannot haul a bucket of water and TSP on ladder all day (rinse clean).

The fascia board is down to wood and only the drip prep is needed for
prime/paint.
