Is there an aluminum cleaner/polish you could recommend for cleaning valve covers?

[ShowCar]

Show Car Metal Polish works real well on Aluminum. Just wash the covers well with Simple Green and water. Dry the valve covers and then apply the polish with a foam pad or polishing wheel depending on how bad they are. Remove with a microfiber towel and they will be clean, shiny, and protected. Then you can polish up the silverware for thanksgiving dinner. LOL

Its a 16oz. bottle so you will have enough to do more than valve covers. You can use it on chrome, jewelry, and anything else that needs polishing.

Zachman,

I reccomend either Brasso using a dremmel tool and cotton buffing wheels, or a product called Neverdull.. the military uses this
stuff to shine uniform items and the Navy really loves the brass! Using this stuff will give brass the look of polished gold and your aluminum covers better
looking than chrome. After you polish I would get a good urethane clear coat for them or send off for a clear powder coat.

+ 1 on Neverdull as I have had a can in the garage for 15 plus years and the stuff works great! Think my brother turned me on to it as they used it extensively while he was in the Navy.

Another great finishing product is Autosol

I got to agree. I've been use Wenol for the last ten years and its been able to polish the most stubborn metals.
