Default Valve cover polishing???

I want to have my stock valve cover polished and don't even know where to start in cyber-space.
Any help would be appreciated!
Estimate on cost?
Is there an type of polishing wheels that I can hook up to a drill to do this?
I am tired of the boring black, and the JDMs are played out!
I want some bling-bling!!!!!

If you can have it chromed for $60, go for it. I can polish it for you for $100 if you decide to go that route.

You can see some of my work at http://www.SMPolishing.com

I think you got some good work there SM Polishing. To polish mine, all I did was buy some of that Mother's Mag Alum polish and rub that stuff on vigoursly on the valve cover till it turned black!Do that process like 3 times and it WILL be shiny chromy looking!I also sanded mine before I polished it to get all the scratches out. Mother Polish

Thanks. Mothers Mag is some great stuff, we recommend that for any polishing touch ups down the road to our customers.
