I’d like to discuss media blasting types and the pros and cons of each when used to blast a car body: (exterior, interior, and under)

Media types I’m considering for my car which is on a rotisserie.

Soda Blast

Plastic Bead Blast

Glass Bead Blast

Ultra Fine Steel Blast

Other


The basic argument for using a softer media I assume will be it doesn’t remove any actual metal and is easier to clean up. Also the residue that soda leaves behind can be seen as both positive and negative.

The basic argument for using a more abrasive media I assume will be that it removes paint more easily, saving time. It also blasts away rust, where softer media types may not. More abrasive media types also remove metal but in doing so, etch the metal surfaces allowing primers / sealers to “grab”.

Have an opinion about media blasting? Let’s here it!

Thanks!
