89 valve covers stained ?
89 valve covers had a "brown' stain on them. Read where you could clean them with wheel cleaner and a scotch pad. Didn't work, more discoloration now. Are these painted from the factory or can they be cleaned? Looks like fun just taking them off. Thanks

I'm assuming they look like this?
Here is how mine look now:
