Got a pair of PD-M730 pedals off Coleman in pretty good condition, just a few dings and scratches, i took one of them apart (with a little help from my "team" mechanic !) and gave the cage a sanding with wet and dry.







Then on to the polishing wheel with a sisal mop and green compound to remove the rest of the anodising and get the scratches out. if you plan to do this take care !! polishing mops doing 2850rpm and pedal grips don't get on very well ! :facepalm:



And three and a half hours later ......



Next pedal ...... :facepalm:

They look amazing Martin! I think I need a bench grinder and polishing mops in my life

It does make it easy to polish old parts ! they are not too expensive either, but make a right old mess !

They look great all mirror polished, but not for long, they are to be re-anodised black, just wanted to get all the scratches and dinks out !
But it takes a long time :facepalm:

You're doing a great job mate, they look mint!

It'll be worth all the effort when you're putting them onto the bike - trust me!

I have to say this is coming along Exceptionally.

And those pedals just look like SEX to me in polished form...
