Vapour & Media Blasting

‍

Vapour and media blasting are highly effective cleaning and preparation methods used to restore metal components safely and accurately. At ATD Autoworks, we use these processes to remove dirt, corrosion, paint, and coatings without damaging the underlying material.

Ideal for restoration, refurbishment, and preparation work, blasting allows parts to be returned to a clean, uniform finish ready for coating, painting, or reassembly.

Vapour Blasting Explained

‍

Vapour blasting (also known as wet blasting) combines water with fine blasting media to gently clean surfaces. This method is especially effective on aluminium and delicate components, leaving a smooth, satin-like finish without harsh abrasion.

‍

It’s a popular choice for engine parts and restoration work where appearance and surface integrity matter.

Media Blasting Explained

‍

Media blasting uses dry abrasive media to remove heavier contamination such as rust, paint, and thick coatings. Different media types are used depending on the job, allowing us to clean parts efficiently while avoiding unnecessary damage.

‍

This method is ideal for heavily corroded parts or components requiring full stripping before refinishing.

Why Use Vapour or Media Blasting?
