Don't go the easy route and use Oven cleaner, you aint a real bmx restorer until you use Caustic Soda. :LolLolLolLol:

yeah my lungs are now all crinkly at the top.

First remove the spindles and guts of the pedals
get a chinese food tray or something with deep sides
get some Oven Pride and fill it enough so that a pedal can be immersed in it
turn occasionally - once it starts to go white that's the time to get it out
once colour removed, polish - good to go
done it myself a fair few times - genius invention
