I sure as hell wouldn't use a Dremel tool with any kind of attachment.
Buy a cheap Chinese bench grinder for about $40~$50 USD and some cloth
polishing wheels and an assortment of sticks of jeweler's rouge and do the
job right.
Remove the covers and degrease them and polish them out just like the
professionals at the chrome plating shop would do.
Then, when you're done polishing, spray clear urethane to keep the covers
from
corroding due to road salt.
