You can either use a spray on gasket remover which can be found at 
any auto parts store or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on a cloth will 
also lift the silicone residue it works great cleaning up uncured 
silicone. note: you may want to have a hose type vaccuum on hand to 
get any bits of silicone that may fall into the top of the heads.

As long as you don't have any major gouges in the mating sufaces you 
shouldn't have any problems with resealing them using the paper 
gasket. 

Eastwood makes a special aerosol spray paint just for aluminum 
castings it will make your valve covers look better than new and 
won't flake off later. Ask Dave Swingle more about it. His son Gary 
used it on his BMW intake manifold. I was amazed how nice it looked.
