wet blasting
Wet blasting is a special technique in which the surface of a part or a part of your car is treated. In the end it will look like new again. It gives a smooth and fresh look without loss of material. Due to the ceramic granules that are added to the hot water, it is much more labour-intensive than other blasting techniques, but this is also the reason that wet blasting gives the best and long-lasting high-end result. That is why wet blasting differs from other blasting techniques in many ways. Aluminium no longer oxidises and no longer retains dirt. In addition, wet blasting does not remove material and does not cause damage, making it extremely suitable for parts where a gasket hits. After this treatment, aluminium looks like it was delivered new from the manufacturer. Wet blasting is widely applicable, also outside the automotive world, such as nautical and aluminium parts that are used in the kitchen of restaurants.

It is sometimes difficult to know which wet blast technique best suits what you need. That is why we have made a small overview of the different techniques that we offer. If you would like to know more or would like to receive tailor-made advice, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Dry ice blasting
When you start blasting dry ice, disassembly of the parts to be cleaned is not necessary and even the most difficult to reach areas can be cleaned effectively. Hence it is Ideal for interior cleaning.
Soda BLASTING
Soda blasting is blasting with sodium bicarbonate. The soda grains are blasted against the surface by means of compressed air. The advantage of this technique is that it is extremely suitable for blasting a heavily soiled chrome wire wheel, for example, without affecting the chrome. Another example: an engine block of a motorcycle can also be blasted without having to remove this block. After blasting, the excess abrasive can be rinsed off with water without any problems.
Glass beads
Glass bead blasting or micro peening is a processing technique in which glass balls (glass beads) are used to pelt the surface of a relatively soft material. This improves the mechanical properties. This technique is usually used to obtain a fine texture for spray painting. This is also the first phase of wet blasting.
