No, you really cant. The valve covers are solid aluminum with no plating and they are simply leveling the surface. The fender mouldings are pot-metal that is chrome platted.
Fine steel wool, or a buffing compound is really used to remove oxidation, and perhaps light rust stains from the chrome. If you have any pitting, then they would have to be filled or ground leveled, and replated.
