How do you clean the side motor case covers? Mine are slightly pitted and discolored. Done really want to remove but will if nessessary.

Just use the same stuff you use on your paint,.. because they are actually clear-coated...
... but,.. if the discoloration is under the clearcoat, the only way to remove it is to remove the clearcoat...
Then,.. you'll either have to keep it polished or re apply a protective coating...

I'm sure this is gonna be clearcoat removal and some serious buffing or fine sanding.

I dont like chemicals, so, I went at it manually. After some laborious & very slow approaches, I found a green Scotch Brite pad will mount like sandpaper in a palm sized orbital. A spray bottle of water & a sprits on the case & a few on the pad. If you run it too long, or run it dry it will make the aluminum very dark,,
