Soda blasting is a great way to clean up bike parts as it is very gentle compared with bead blasting, wire brushing etc. We had had a DIY go at soda blasting in the past and were not impressed with the results, so when this new product became available we were more than a little sceptical. When the test unit arrived we gave it a go on a set of painted throttle bodies and we were blown away (pun intended)!
We have bought the test unit and are very happy to sell the product. This unit comes with 1Kg of Soda media. The blasting will not damage glass, rubber or plastic and you need very little masking when blasting. Unlike glass beads the media is not going to damage delicate engine parts. From a mess perspective you would be ill advised to use it indoors, but it is fine to use on the lawn or where ever as the used media is 100% harmless to the environment and will eventually simply blow away.
The manufacturer recommends using a compressor capable of providing at least 180 litres/minute or 6.5 CFM; any compressor over 1.5 HP should be fine. It is rated for 6 - 12 Bar (87 - 174 psi). We will supply it with either PCL (RHS in photo below) or HiFlo (LHS in photo below) connectors depending on what is on your air line.

Really quick delivery and a great addition when rebuilding bluespots.
Quality item, so much better than generic kit you can get on line. Repeat customer, says it all.
Fantastic done the job thank you
I hate changing tyres, but this stuff made the job much easier.
I broke the bead on the old tyre then applied the paste with a paint brush. Ten year old Bridgestone slid off easily and the new Heidenau, with very stiff sidewalls, was fitted much more easily than when I’d tried with washing-up liquid.
After having struggled trying to set the pilot air screws on my Suzuki’s carb’s - I saw this recommended in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics and it is an excellent piece of kit and well made too.
Excellent quality, first time I’ve used ‘ball-ended’ they were so much more adaptable when trying to access restricted spaces. Well worth it !
The right length, the right colour and with crocodile clips on the ends...
Made the whole job so much easier, using the proper tools for the job gives you a sense of a job well done.
