spot blaster - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to remove some heavy surface rust in the corners of my pickup's bed. Seems like a spot blaster would be more effective than a wire brush, etc.

I'd appreciate your recommendations on blasters and what type media to use.

Thanks.

eastwood.com/blast-out-of-a-bucket works for spot rust removal
i used one a lot on my frame for getting in corners and crevices of my frame
good on rust and grime, not so good on paint
i use hd bagged sand and it's cheap

Decided to borrow a friend's air needle scaler instead of messing with sand.
