Neat.
I believe that some one on here has done tnis.
Maybe Dj on his ranch wagon build or that may have been dry ice.[S

Looks like it works pretty good, but I wouldn't pay $1000 to get a 4 door blasted. I've seen soda blasting advertised around here for about $650 for any size car, so I don't think this will catch on at those prices.....

Question is, what happens to the ground up glass media and old paint? They say the water vaporizes, so are you breathing the glass and old paint? It didn't look like there were piles of glass and paint around the car, so where does it go? It can't simply disappear into the atmosphere. I'm thinking ground up glass would be kinda dangerous to have in the driveway, no matter how fine it is.

I was thinking along the same lines. Then an even more interesting thought crossed my mind. What is ground up glass made out of? Go back far enough and you get back to SAND. So the latest replacement for sand blasting is (wait for it) sand blasting.

Could be that I missed something in the process...

Sooo...It will strip away paint, primer and body filler yet it won't mar the chrome or take the masking tape off either? I call BS! lol

No way I'd pay $1000.00 for it but it looks like a cool process. If I can find a source for the glass I might jerry rig a water hose to my little pot and see what happens.

I agree on the chrome and tape. They didn't show any footage of blasting close to it.

My cousin has a pressure washer that you hook up a siphon type fixture to that we siphon a fine sand blasting sand through. It works very well and cleans really fast, The thing is that if you don't dry it and paint it right away it will rust quite quickly. It also makes one hell of a mess and th sand gets everywhereand you get very wet. We wear a tyvek suit with a hood and eye protection. It works great on heavy steel material like truck frames and dump truck bodys, We've been afraid to use it on car or truck body pannels for fear of warping them.

It just looks like fun to me. I've always loved to abrasive blast stuff.

I have the syphon system for my pressure washer. Add fine blast media. Works great.

Ya,like y"all said,if it blast off bondo,it would blast off tape + damage the glass and stuff. And the paint+rust+bondo would have to leave a mess somewhere.
