BlownAwayUK Sand & Soda Blasting

We've all had things we wanted to clean, restore or repaint... In the past we've had to do this with scrapers, blowlamps, sandpapers or toxic chemicals - plus lots of elbow grease...

But now there's an easier, more environmentally friendly method that'll just blow you away. We bet that, if you thought of blast cleaning at all, you saw it as an almost entirely industrial solution. Well it isn't any more, with the latest fully mobile equipment there are a range of domestic, hobby and DIY applications for soda blasting.

So what is blast cleaning then?

In a nut shell...

Here at Blown Away UK we have the latest equipment which is fully mobile, admittedly mounted on classic trucks but we love our classic cars and vehicles. Indeed it was classic car restoration that inspired us to start this business.

As we looked into it further though, we realised there was a huge potential for this process in other areas, in fact it's true to say that there is not much we can't clean up with our equipment, just ask!

Stonework: clean walls and buildings
Vehicles: before blast cleaning
Vehicles: after blast cleaning
Engines: camshaft after cleaning

So what can we clean or strip?

Pretty much anything...

With an abrasive like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, bicarb) this will not alter or damage the item being cleaned or stripped and even, in the case of metals, leave behind a surface that is protected from “flash rusting” for a while.

Our other main medium of choice, Archifine, does not give this protection but will leave metals “keyed” ready for priming, and remove rust as well.
