I've been wondering about local-to-me soda blasting, but never had the motivation to actually do a search. Guess what was cleaning the shop across the parking lot...

Very cool. Now you need to empty your shop and let them go at that floor. Or just light a match and wait for the oil to wick out and burn.

I didn't think you could spill oil on the floor in California??

We don't use oil in CA. We use happiness and love to keep everything running 'groovy'.

could you imagine the mess if that thing were to collide with a tanker hauling vinegar?

We had that type of company come by and do a 356...
It was about three hours...all done.
The next rain storm all evidence was gone.

They also carry sand for the tough spots....

there has to be a easy to read grit chart out there somewhere- where does soda fall in comparison to other options?

http://www.nortonsandblasting.com/nsbabrasives.html lists them in order. Mild at the top, more and more agressive as you go down.

Just had a set of wheels done. Excellent results. The guy was saying it will keep bare metal from rusting for a long time. But, you'll need to wash it off with a warm soapy water prior to any type of paint work.

WOW! I just drove by their building this morning. Had no idea that's what they did. I'll have to stop by there this weekend.

Thanks
