Anodized aluminum such as what MB used for window moulding is notoriously
difficult, almost impossible, to shine up once the finish has started to
oxidize.
There used to be a trick where you cleaned it as well as possible then put a

The valve cover looks anodized but with a lot of embedded dirt that
