Clean all the oil off of them and once you run them and they heat it they will produce a nice color.

0000 steel wool. I polish all of my stainless and chrome with it. Also cleans glass!

I second the 0000 steel wool but I would wait to clean them until you have them installed and are finished handling them. Then clean them off before you start the engine for the first time. Or clean them now and install them then clean them again before starting. Just make sure you have removed all finger prints before starting the engine because they are a bitch to remove once they are burned on.
