I'm bring my barn find BB back on the road and thinking of buying an ultrasonic cleaner to clean smaller parts. Anyone else using this technique and any recommendations for the home hobbyist?
My fan housing and air intakes are very grungy. I was planning to just scrub with degreaser and maybe a pressure washer, but there are a couple companies near me that offer vapor honing. Anyone try vapor honing on these parts? Thanks  |

Also, FWIW, you may consider one of these as a DIY:
https://www.amazon.com/Selkie-Pressure-Wash...t/dp/B086W4TNQC I’ll be getting one to use with fine glass beads for some ATS wheels that I’m working on. I want a raw aluminum look and a clear powder coat top lay to prevent oxidation. |
