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

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
