apply with clean rag.

leave for 5 mins.

wipe off.

just be sure to sniff the rag before you apply to make sure it hasn't gone off.

lol, doesnt nitromors weaken the magnesium or something like that?

Your pedals are probably mostly aluminium. Magnesium is added to enhance it's properties (along with a few other metals) to produce what's generally known as a magnesium alloy (even though, as I said, it's mostly aluminium).

Nitromors is designed to attack paint not metal, if it was oxidative it would probably rust the crap out of steel frames, so it should be ok for your pedals. Just exercise a bit of caution at first, maybe trial a small area just to be sure and then carry on from there.
