  1. Well said. 

    It also works very well on machined steel. 

    But then there can be contamination issues with some clients and the media. 

     

     

     

    One question that every one asks is how Much to blast my wheels.  Sorry I cant say till the jobs  completed. 

    There are to Many different elements Size of wheel and wheel style. Multi spoke take much longer than a simple 5 spoke. 13" vs 18"

    Wheel finish i.e. current coating. What finish you want. Many modern wheel finishes are very tough. some I can't remove. I can key them ready for paint and smooth out any chips very quickly and easily. Advantages of this when painting is that you don't need to etch prime the wheels again.

    But going back to raw alloy can be a long processes. If polishing its a great processes as it leaves a great finish for polishing 

    Change out is $85 per hour. 

    So sorry I cant tell you till I.have them in the blaster

  3. ,'No Its had to say. The vapour blaster will remove what's off the surface, leaving a clean sealed surface. If there's is any imperfections in the alloy or oxidation or corrosion it will simply clean what is there. 

    It won't take off powder   coat though. 

    My instagram has photos of my m20 I have been playing with.

  4. http://www.dashboardrestorations.co.nz/

    i rang them about 6 months asking about the cost of restoring a e21 dash. HE did not know as he had not done a e21 before, but had just finished a e30 dash the previous week and gave me the cost of that as a comparative size and style. The number i remember is $960. i did not listen much after that as i was already looking towards carpet dash pads or the leather dash covers out of the UK.
