Andy, here is a good cleaning process.

1) blast the valve covers
2) apply healthy amounts of Eagle One Self Etching Aluminum cleaner
3) clean vigorously with 0000 steel wool
4) hit the covers with Mothers aluminum polish and 00000 steel wool
5) grab a beer

i ran some 400 grit on the one,then steel wooled it,then ran a 3/8" drill with a buffing pad and some tripoli buffing compound.

if i was to keep them,id spend a half day on them,and these would look like a mirror,and id be out of beer,or passed out.
