i polished mine. get airscraft stripper and use that with a toothbrush to get all the black gunk off. then just use wetordry 600,1000,1500 sandpaper. then sand the hell out of the valve cover. then use some metal polish after sanding. it helps if you have a electric sander as well.

i got the aircraft remover and just sprayed it on and let it sit for about 5 mins, and then sprayed off the cover with a hose. dried if off good, sanded it a little, and sprayed it with red paint, kinda a ghetto type ARR style, but it definetly looks better than it did.
