Wow! That is impressive. What a difference. The cleaned parts look like new.

looks great, does the vapour blasting give the metal a type of polished finish? It almost looks like it’s left a coating on it? :?

Polishing is its job really Rob, it can’t obviously polish to a mirror finish etc, but it brings ally back to as new or a more polished finish as in the pics if that’s what’s required. A couple of the metal parts were soda blasted ready for painting or powder coating but I also ran them through the vapour blaster afterwards to give a shine so they could be spray lacquered if thats the look required.

Powder coating, that brings back a few memories - i spent several years working at powder coating factories & used to go home in a right state!

Yep not too keen on it Rob, prefer painted all day long.

Same here, the bulk of our work back in the 80’s was spraying extruded aluminium sections for double glazing using automatic reciprocators, which were fast but a bit boring - occasionally we’d get one off jobs/short runs and get to do some hand spraying.
We used to regularly run into the huge ovens to pick work off the floor which had fallen off the jigs

Beautiful job John, absolutely fantastic, but it is a bit concerning that G29 parts look so bad after such a short time.

 

[Nictrix]

You will need to try laser cleaning next

 

[Mr Tidy]

[TitanTim]

I've been watching I AM Detailing channel on YouTube. He uses Dry Ice blasting on the underside and engine bays of many of his jobs with absolutely amazing results

Very very expensive set up and very dangerous stuff to use but very good results without the mess. I’d have to be very busy to get into it but let’s see how the next 3 yrs go.
