I'm looking for tips/tricks on how to polish the valve cover, since its not a flat surface and it has several spaces that are tricky to get to. Products/ tools that you used would be great.
Thanks

I like these small buffing wheel kits from HF. The wheels work great in a die grinder, not so good in a drill (not fast enough).

Caswells also sells a buffer adapter that fits on an angle grinder gets in lots of places and the least expensive way to get a fast buffing action.
Yes, the Roloc discs. I've started using them as well and they work great. I find the medium (maroon color) is about as aggressive as I want to go on aluminum. They will remove deep scratches and gouges in a jiffy. I've started buying them off eBay, much cheaper. I just got a bag of 50 1" fine (blue) for $15. The boxes of 25 2" can be routinely had for about $20. The very fine (gray) work best on aluminum for general cleaning and polishing.
