getting superglue off alum. valve covers?

[bigbadchev84]

i picked up a set of aluminum valve covers on trade and they had some stupid Nova emblems super glued to them, i pried them off but the super glue is still on there, does anyone know how to get this crap off? and what is the best way to polish them up? they are a bit dull. thanks

Acetone seemed to work pretty well on super glue.

When you do get the glue off, try a Mothers buffing wheel, and their compound.

The aforementioned Acetone or mineral spirits

Acetone (finger nail polish remover) or brake parts cleaner (kinda harsh) will get the super glue off there. Can't help you with the polishing of aluminum.

Other than a buffing wheel on a bench grinder and polishing rouge. This stuff is the best I know of:http://www.heavymetalpolish.com/Products/Polishes/ for polishing

For polishing metal that is in good condition SemiChrome is also very good polish. Most motorcycle shops carry it.
