I was going to get led ones and i thought to much neons in the car so i stuck with the normal pedals the dirt was always getting stuck in the brished aluminium pedals so i thought id polish them one wipe when there dirty and clean again.

First i used wet and dry sand paper 400grit to get the roughness out then i used 800grit then 1500grit for the final smothness once all that is done i used a cutting compund with my dremel machine buff on then buff of took a bit of time but well worth the effort.
