What is Vapour Blasting?
Vapour blasting, also known as aqua blasting, is a cleaning process used to restore bike and motorcycle parts to a bright cast finish.
Vapour Blasting Process
The process utilises a blend of water, abrasive media, and compressed air to eliminate contaminants, oxidation, and old finishes from metal surfaces without causing significant abrasion or damage.
Vapour Blasting Benefits
This technique is perfect for cleaning engine parts, casings, gearboxes, and other metallic components, rejuvenating their appearance and extending their lifespan.
Gentle Cleaning:
Vapour blasting is a non-abrasive process that cleans bike parts without causing significant wear or changing the original dimensions of the components.
Restores to a Bright Finish:
It restores metal surfaces, such as engine cases and casings, to a fresh, bright appearance.
Suitable for Delicate Parts:
Vapour blasting is a gentle method suited for aluminium and other delicate materials found in motorcycles, minimising the risk of pitting or surface damage.
Versatile Application:
The process can be utilised for various motorcycle and car parts, including engine blocks, cylinder heads, gearbox cases, suspension components, and chassis parts.
Enhanced Surface Protection:
The water-based method reduces media embedding, resulting in a smoother finish and helping parts resist future staining and oxidation.
