They say soda turns to dust on impact. So you don't get media
in every nook and cranny. Where's the dust gonna go? I snag
a certain amount with my Ionic Breeze but it's still pretty dusty
around here without pressure blasting car bodies.
One of the local restoration specialists had an Elan soda blasted in
the early 1990's and claimed that cleanup was a pain. My assumption
is that Eastwood's process is different.

I googled and found this comment....whatever it means
And the little attachments that they sell to convert to soda blasting for
$120 some dollars you can get at lowes for a couple of dollars.
It seems to me that Eastwood products are often found elsewhere at
considerable savings.
