A vapor blasting system is a valuable tool in your workshop if you turn wrenches and can be used on almost any surface for coating prep, coating removal, general parts cleaning, and of course the best of all surface finishing or OEM finishing.

You use an average of 60 working PSI, starting off about 5″ away and going into 1″ away if necessary. Therefore will clean rubber and plastic, making rubbers like carburetor boots soft.
