The yellow residue is probably what is left of the wax applied at the factory to protect it.

The dark "stains" are probably where the un-oxidised alloy was previously protected from oxidation by the wax. The grey colour of the alloy cover is oxidised alloy. The rocker cover will all end up that way eventually given time.
