That looks pretty cool, but I would think you’ll get some surface rust with the water.

Re: anybody use one of these???
Seeing that all other options are going to expensive, I’d say @ $70 bucks it’s worth a try.
Let us know how it works out. Just curious, what else are you looking at using? s/t

Looks like a good tool to have if you have or are planning on buying a pressure washer. The reviews also look good. Thanks for the tip...

Re: anybody use one of these???
I seen them using that on Muscle Car as well. If I remember correctly they said it would not to a complete job and that you would have to finish the tough places with a dry blaster or wire wheel. That being said I am looking into one as well.

Re: anybody use one of these???
I can tell you first hand that this tool is wonderful, make sure you have a respirator and a face shield when you are doing it, the pressure from the p/washer tends to blow the sand back at ya, also make sure not to get the sand or abrasive media wet, for it will make it more challenging for it to get sucked up, another tip I can give you is to make sure you hold the clear hose parallel to the nozzle all the way to your hand it will ensure the media gets picked up. just some tips....

Hey, ese, do you think a drop type media container like you get at TSC or HF would work on this setup?

Re: anybody use one of these???
They also make one for use with baking soda.It works well and is very environmentally friendly.It also is supposed to be able to be used without removing chrome etc.I have used one in demo's(worked for a "HOTSY" dealer).I have never tried it on glass or chrome.
