Okay with all the rain and crap we have had around here lately pieces of gras and what have you stick to my shoe and eventually ends up embedded in my Mugen Clutch Pedal. Not so much the brake mainly the clutch. Question is has anyone come up with a good way to clean that crap out of there?

 

A brush maybe?

Stiff plastic like for scrubbing a deck, shop or pots? I'm sure you could find something at Wallmart in the housewares department.

I don't think I've even cleaned any pedals on any car I've ever owned.

 

Are you kidding me???
Try some Fantastik and a toothbrush.

A toothbrush.

It's going to get dirty anyways. I have never cleaned my Mugen pedals and I drive my car through all seasons.

 

OK, I do this a couple of times a year, and works perfectly each time:

1. First, look to see if there's any big items (pieces of leaf, grass, etc) that can be removed with a tweezer or an old toothbrush.

2. Then, take small bucket or other container, hold it under the pedals, and spray over the pedals with an all-purpose cleaner. (409 works great)

3. Let stand for a few seconds, and then either spray or slowly pour some water over the pedals. Watch in amazement as tons of dirt pours into the container you're holding under the pedals.

4. Repeat step 3 again, if the pedals are really dirty.

Due to their design, the dirt simply gets trapped inside the Mugen pedals, but will easily wash away. This whole thing should take about 10 minutes, and your pedals will look like new.

Sounds like a plan. I know they'll get dirty again but I am pretty particular about my car.

THANX

 

GEt two pairs of pedals. Problem solved.

Guess my Non-JDM brush idea wouldn't work.

jk. thats a good idea

 

you gotta be kidding me...some ITR owners

 

best way to clean mugen pedals is with a wrench. remove the damn bling, and get a set of omp. you want function down there, not something that looks good when you are out of the car...JMHO

 

Well I like the Mugen Pedal and I will post pics after I have cleaned it.
I think the Mugen pedals are very functional and they only cost me 90 bux Brand NEW. Couldn't argue with that. Sure OMP pedals are cheaper but they don't seem anymore or less functional than the mugen pedals.
Thanks for the advise

well, i had a few sets of mugen pedals and i found that aside from being the same exact size as stock brake and clutch covers, the polished aluminum outer ring (mesh inside) caused my foot to slip on them. this is very scary when entering the car during a rainy day/event. to each his own though...

 

The surface on the Mugen pedals is grippier than stock, fit is perfect, it is wider than ugly stock rubber surfaces, looks better. To each his own.

 

sorry, just trying to help...

WOW if they were so bad and SO Blingy Why on earth did you have to get "A FEW SETS"?

I have had no problem with SLIPAGE with mine.

You always find people who complain about something as stupid as why someone has something etc etc.
Some like to complain about those of us who fly First Class. "Stupid to pay all that $$ for a plane trip." Yeah but these are the SAME people we see complaining when the plane is over booked in Economy and they are istantly up graded to Business or First.
Truth of the matter is there are some of us who are satisfied with OMP and there are some of us who are satisfied with Mugen. Some Like Sparco and so forth and so on. Why does something negative have to come out of a simple question like this one? I figured there are others on the Board with Mugen pedals and they MIGHT have just had the same problem as i did.

Arizsun21, I came by and NO Toothbrush what gives?
LOL Just Kidding
