A question about clear coating polished aluminum.

I finally got sick and tired of my old black, ugly, leaking stock valve covers and i bought these off ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4632073447
I haven't gotten them yet but i've seen a set in person and they looked pretty good. The only problem is i'm kind of lazy when it comes to cleaning and would like to keep these covers looking good with out polishing them every week or so. Would these covers look worth a damn if i just rattle can cleared them? If not any other recommendations on what i should do? I just want something that looks pretty good, it doesn't have to be show room quality. Thanks

Ok i will, i'm planning on trying to get some decent pics as it seems several guys have these covers, but few of them have decent pics, especially of the pass. side.

If you look at the pics shown in the auction you'll see that these covers have a relief cut for the alternator.
