Grey Anodized Clipless Pedals 2 Shiny Alloy

Lots of elbow grease was used to convert these grey anodized Shimano Exage pedals to highly polished aluminium alloy. No power tools were used in this conversion.

Nice job.

If you haven't already thought of it, I recommend finishing with "Nu
Finish" car polish or similar product. I did on a similarly polished
Zeus (Nuovo Record copy) front hub, and it stayed shiny for several
years. Bare Aluminum will oxidize pretty quickly.

("Nu Finish" is apparently characterized as a "sealant" as it doesn't
actually contain wax - or so the ads say.)

Something bothers me about the words "polish" and "pedal" in the same
sentence.

Surely depends which way you're pedalling...

Indeed. I gave up the idea I can keep the pedals nice looking ;-) The best results I get with my Speedplay pedals, but all of my SPD pedals look awful after a while.

Yeah.
But I was thinking of the time when I first switched to Look pedals from
SPDs. New shoes and new pedals. Wasn't used to the one sided pedals so
went to clip in the wrong side and slipped right off straddling the top
tube. Ouch.

I find geting getting into my 1st Generation Look and Look type pedals very instinctive. That's because it's almost the same as getting into pedals with toeclips. When I tried Wellgo MTB pedals I had a heck of a time getting my foot to engage the first time I stepped into the pedals. I tried those for months before finally getting rid of them. For me the Look Delta cleat pedals are ideal.

I love the Keo2 pedals that I have.

I just meant when they were new and the shoes were new they were
slippery. After the first couple rides that problem went away.
