Vapor blasting is a surface preparation, restoration and cleaning process that combines abrasive media with water to create a slurry, which is then propelled at high pressure onto an object's surface. It offers advantages like reduced dust, improved surface finish, and versatility. 

Vapor blasting is frequently used on metal or aluminum tools, parts, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, automotive components, and machine parts, to remove corrosion, rust, paint, and other contaminants while providing a smooth finish.

As a whole, wet blasting services promote longer media life and create a “softer” and smoother finish. Wet blasting can handle many surfaces, however, it is especially effective for aluminum, brass, magnesium, and zinc surfaces. Here are some other benefits of wet blasting services to consider:

• It is a dust-free process
• Instead of cleaning by impact, it cleans with water
• It both degreases and blasts at the same time
• The water acts as a lubricant or a barrier between the media and the component
• During the blasting process, no media is infused into the material
• Leaves an appealing satin finish on many surfaces, such as aluminum, brass, and stainless steel
