Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vapor Honing?
Vapor honing is a technique that involves the blasting of abrasive media mixed with pressurized water. When it’s used to clean a surface, the abrasive eliminates the materials you’re removing and the water washes them away. As the abrasive is cleaning the surface, it is simultaneously smoothing the surface. The result is a near new/reconditioned finish.
What materials can we clean?
We have had great results with aluminum, stainless, brass, copper, mild steel, rubber, and plastics. Even though we specialize in automovtive parts, we can also refinish motorcycle engines and parts, metal components, castings, coins, collectible items, plastic, and rubber items to clean and restore them to a like-new condition without damaging the surface.

What is the difference between sandblasting and vapor honing?
Vapor honing and sandblasting are both surface finishing and cleaning methods, but they differ significantly in their approach and results. Vapor honing uses a water-based slurry of abrasive and water, resulting in a gentler, more precise clean, while sandblasting relies on dry, high-pressure air to propel abrasive media, which can be harsh and create a lot of dust.
What are acceptable refinishing conditions?
Prior to vapor honing, all parts need to be properly cleaned to remove grease, oil, paint, powdercoat, gaskets, silicone, etc. We recommend that you clean your parts prior to sending them to us for vapor honing. However, if you prefer that we perform the cleaning, additional charges will apply. Contact for estimates.
