The process
What is blast cleaning?
Blast cleaning is a surface preparation process used to remove rust, paint, corrosion and contamination from metal components. Different blasting methods are used depending on the material, the condition of the part and the finish required. At AL’S Blast & Paint Shop we commonly use both dry blasting and vapour blasting to achieve the most appropriate result for each project.

Choosing the right finish
Dry blasting vs vapour blasting
Different blasting techniques are used depending on the material and finish required. Dry blasting is typically used for stronger surface preparation and coating removal, while vapour blasting is often preferred for delicate or detailed components.
Vapour blasting
Used where a cleaner and more refined finish is required.
- Restoring aluminium components
- Cleaning engine parts
- Detail restoration work
- Producing a smoother finish
