Purple power and simple green, probably other cleaners as well, will do that to bare metal/polished stuff.

You can try some mothers polish on the intake.

use eagle one etching mag cleaner for the intake mani with a wire brush and keep rinsing and repeating until you're satisfied. , you can use it on the valve cover also but don't use a wire brush for the valve cover, use a green/yellow pad or something. You can also use it for the tranny, stock upper motor mount, tb.

Also wear gloves when using this product, it's pretty damn strong and works great. My intake mani looks better than new, some people thought I had it powdercoated lol. Invest in some small wire brushes, maybe the brass type.

The stock intercooler has a very rough finish. You could sand it down smooth and polish it but you'd invest a lot of time in it.
