Metal parts and belongings are quick to get dirty or rusty. Whether they have been sitting in a shed for a while waiting to be used or regularly used, which is why they are caked in mud and grime, they need cleaning. But, hydrophobic agents such as oil and grease make the process difficult and time-consuming. A vapour blaster is the solution.
At Sunrise MOT, we offer a vapour blasting service as a hassle-free way to remove rust and dirt from your metal parts. So that you can use them as if they were new.
From running a car or starting a restoration project to a home DIY project, our vapour blasting service is available for everyone with a need for cleaning metal … as long as it fits in the machine.

Vapour blasting, also known as vapour honing or wet blasting, combines abrasive media with water and pressure to remove layers of dirt, oil and grime.
It is often used to remove old paint, coatings or corrosion from cars or components, specifically in restoration projects.
The abrasive media and water are mixed together before being blasted through a blast nozzle (hence the name).
The pressure and abrasive material break down the dirt surface, while the water acts as a buffer and floods the dirt so that it doesn’t fly away, creating debris from the process.
There are several advantages to choosing vapour blasting over any other form of blasting, such as dry blasting.

Vapour blasting is a method of cleaning various materials. It is predominantly used on metal and breaks down and removes layers of dirt, such as oil and rust.
The process combines water, abrasive media and pressure to clean, polish and refine a surface without damaging it.
Vapour blasting differs from dry blasting because it uses water as a lubricant.
Dry blasting simply uses air pressure and an abrasive media.
Vapour blasting reduces abrasive impact on the item, minimises heat and produces a smoother, more polished finish.
Vapour blasting can be used on a wide range of materials, including metals (aluminium, steel, titanium), plastics, glass, and composites. It’s suitable for delicate and heat-sensitive components as well.
At Sunrise MOT and Servicing, we specialise in cleaning metal products.
Yes, it is incredibly safe for delicate parts because the water softens the impact of the abrasive media, which reduces the risk of damage to thin-walled or sensitive components.
