<VV> Undercoat Removal Tips

[Ulli Dittmar]

if  ice blasting is not so common in the US look for cleaning and maintenance services specialized on high voltage electronics - this is where ice blasting comes from - those guys have mobil blasting units and they usually come to industrial plant for cleaning. They will come to your home also - at least they do it in Germany.
The result is perfect without any hustle in grinding, sanding or chemical dirt on the floor of your shop.
Try it and you will love it.

Fantastic, no undercoating, no grease no oil left - the best is that non of the   original metal will be taken off, even the original paint will not be effected by the ice - is there is any corrosion you can take care of any single point (cutting, sand balsting etc.) but the rest will stay original.
