Default Why are my chrome headers not chrome

After pulling my old motor I noticed how bad my drivers side header looked. I was going to try and sell them but the one looks horrible so I would like them to look better before I try to sell them. What if anything can I do to "clean them up"?

Heh, good call. Wither that or take em for sandblast, or just get busy with some sandpaper and clean em that way! All american sandblasting and powdercoating on bearss between nebraska and skipper is supposed to so a real good job.
