Is there any benefit aside from the aesthetic to having an engine cover on? Does it route air better or anything, or is it better to remove them altogether?
Decided to clean up my engine bay this weekend because it hasent been cleaned since i bought the car and it sure looks a lot better now 
Tools used: wire brush,brasso, cloth, furniture polish and a lot of sweat.
Before clean up (nasty):

yup and more and more and more and more
fold the wet and dry to make a shape for hard to reach bits
buy a sheet of these grits and try it on any similar small piece to get the knack - af any similar easy to do section (lawnmower ?)
400/600/800/1000/1200/1500
im sure hellfrauds do a selection pack from memory - even so its not dear stuff
just to note - welds are cool looking lightly gone over - DONT smooth em down to blend them in like the guy down the road with his new cossie inlet chamber - turned up the boost and split it open
did wonder why he had a drill going to polish it up ??

knackered. just polished it up with a once over. I guess its now just keep polishing and rubbing? Give up for today anywayz lol
the finer grit you go the more brush type marks you will lose
best work more with the rougher to start to get it down as flat as possible then the finer ones merely take scratches and swirls out - if you find it seesm to be doing nothing then move to the next one up - water will help as long as its not steel of course
in the end you should be able to hold it at half arms length and see a blemish free mirror finish reflection - was always my old test for the antiques as they were usually stored at waist height on a table
just remember ALL polishing is technically destructive as you are finely smoothing down the original surface - hence the comment on welds on post above - personally a polished surface with fresh welds on it (untouched) looks the dogs to me anyway
