Polishing Timing Cover

I was looking at the timing cover and it looks totally gross. So I bought some polish from the local Advanced auto and a polishing kit for the dremel. I used the medium brush to get the dirt and grime off. Then I put the polish on by hand and buffed it out with the dremel polishing buffer. I also did the same to the fuel rails. These were the results. Anyone else polish their covers or anything else? Would be nice to see pics.....
