Help me with cleaning and polishing

Hey Guys,

I picked these aluminum valve covers and air cleaner cover up from a guy I know.....they obviously have been sitting around awhile.....I tryed to rub a little polish on them, but I think they'll need something more....Looks like he tryed to blast the air cleaner cover.....They are also missing a few of those allen heads on one cover....
I need ideas on how I should clean these up??...Do I bead blast them? how about sand blast?...once I do that, I want to polish these up and thinking about painting the finned area chevy orange to match the block.....what do you think??....I appreciate any input!!!
