    Tried it

    We polished a mag manifold before and after we got it done it looked great then as time (2 weeks) went by it turned back to the same old brownish color it was to start with. So not sure about the valve covers but I think it may be a waste of your time. Good luck not sure what we used to polish it with it has been ten years.

    rbs took care of a mag PSI injector for me:they had it polished and DOW 7 coated:awesome finish.
    read about GIBBS brand products,it is used to protect vintage mag wheels and other mag based parts,not sure if the polished finish stays that way though...
