Alloy pedal cleaning
« on: June 07, 2010, 05:57 PM »
Got some old alloy GT DX style pedals to clean.

Is there anything you can paint on or dip them in to get the dis-coloured alloy clean...

Hours with a Dremmel is not an option... would rather spray them  :angel:

cheers then  :daumenhoch:

Have a look in the sticky section, Ovenpride might work, but will be a long polish after.

Soapy water and a nail brush followed by a rinse in cold water then get to them with the wet and dry, 800, 1200, 1600 then 2000.

'long polish' & 'wet & dry' are not terms I want to be hearing  :LolLolLolLol:

'dip them in this stuff overnight' is what I'm looking for...  :angel:

thanks for the replies though gents  :daumenhoch:
