Your spelling is correct young apprentice lion
Im sure theres a guide somewhere?
Take off the rocker cover and give them a good polish with metal polish.
or better yet, get them dipped in chrome!

The head itself or cam covers? For the head, a soft wire brush should do the trick.

To make the cam covers look a bit more respectable, a soft wire brush or wire wool with autosol should do the trick.
They're bear alu, so they will etch and corrode and go back to how they were. Get them painted or powder coated for a more permanent solution.
