Roger, go to an auto parts store and buy a can of red hand rubbing compound and a can of white machine rubbing compound, a sheet of 400 grit, a sheet of the next grit they have and a sheet of 1000 grit or finer sandpaper. Use the 400 grit to sand until the scratches are sanded out, then graduate to a finer grit and then to the finest grit cause you want to leave very light sandpaper marks to rub out. Use the red rubbing compound until the scratches left by the sandpaper are gone then use the white compound to rub to a shine. If you have some semichrome or Mothers polish you could put a final high shine on with that. It might take a week of spare time to do the job but you could still use it til it is done. This is the slow way but it will do the job. The quickest way is to take it to a chrome plating company and have them buff it out for you.

I am one day away, UPS. I will also buff it for your for free as long as you pay shipping both ways, but that may not be an option, since you can't be without the pedal.

The "elbow grease" method will eventually work pretty well, but is very laborious. If you just want to clean it up and not get scratches out, then try the Simi-Chrome polish first.

To really do a first rate job, it needs to be done on a buffing wheel. We polish aluminum almost every day in my business. As suggested, a place that does chrome plating may be able to handle it for you.
