VAPOUR
BLASTING
Vapour Blasting, often referred to as wet blasting, is a sophisticated non-invasive technique utilized for the reconditioning of non-ferrous materials. This method proficiently eliminates dirt, contaminants, and corrosion while maintaining the integrity of the surface. In contrast to traditional sand blasting, Vapour Blasting employs a slurry of fine glass beads, propelled through pressurized air and water, resulting in an exceptional finish. This technique is particularly well-suited for various automotive components, ranging from classics to motorcycles, ensuring a meticulous cleaning process that preserves the original dimensions and quality of the parts.
What type of metal is best suited for Vapour Blasting?
​
Vapour Blasting is perfect for non-ferrous metals such as Aluminium, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Mild Steel and Stainless Steel. Vapour Blasting can also be used on Plastics and Carbon Fibre.

We ask that items be stripped of paint, varnish, and heavy soiling upon receipt. Ideally, remove all moving parts like bearings and seals, but no worries if you need assistance with that, we can help!
Degreasing and paint stripping starts at just £5.00 per item—let us know what you need! And if you have stainless, mild steel, or cast iron parts, we have the perfect solution for you!
​
*** PLEASE NOTE***
After blasting all parts undergo cleaning followed by jet washing and air blasting to eliminate glass media from holes and bores. While we strive for thoroughness, we cannot guarantee that there won’t be any media in small recesses. To ensure optimal results, we recommend sending items with fasteners securely placed in threaded holes and/or chasing out tapped holes upon receiving your item back
