Media blasting with baking soda is a superior way to strip paint and rust from vehicles without damage to glass, plastic or metal. It leaves an amazingly smooth surface for repainting, and it retards the formation of rust on the cleaned metal surface.
For items that will be powder coated, we use different media than soda to create a surface profile perfect for allowing the powder to adhere to the metal surface to produce a very durable finish.
