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.
