So thats what the valve covers look like polished. Did you polish them yourself?

YOU DREMEL'D THE ENTIER VALVE COVERS? HOLEY CRAP!!!

Well that is why it has that spotty look to it from that angle. Kinda like you were polishing in one diretion and the started in the other direction. I'm actually trying to perfect my polish on my coil pack cover before I take my valve covers off. I just bought a bench top polisher cause I couldn't get anywhere decent with my dremel.

well not entirely dremel lol i used a buffing wheel to get most of the paint off but thats about it lol. wasn't going to go to crazy polishing them because they are quite pitted but i think it was an improvement.

Let me know how your polishing turns out maybe i can still improve them.

One down side is these are cast aluminum so they will have a sort of watermark spots no matter what you do.

Afterwards, use some high temp clearcoat to protect the metal on camcovers.
