Thread: Best way to remove chrome???

Tweet

I used to use a blast cabinet for cleaning lots of things----finally as I got older, I wised up a little---we now have a pressure washer that uses hot soapy water to clean parts and things--(sorta like a dish washer) The motor that runs the sprayer pump is higher horse power than any other motor in the shop---plus the heater---

yep i have one when running some guys will ask what is that machine for? i tell them i washing my pots and pans . when there a hot load in the hot tank it eats rust out on blocks/tin .jet washer works to just to wash but i going to look at another brand of soap for it. i have the blast cabinet still use it only on some things . but i built engines were guys blast things they should of not .were you spend more time getting all the grit out... You Hope????? out of a $50.part. i now tell them NO sand blasting any parts i spent time blowing beads out of nice shinny powder coated stuff to that and buffer compound and wool

Thanks Hawk56 (LOL), Sunsetdart, Rspears, Pat & Jerry! Thank God for this forum! Without it I'd of gone out & bought a sand blaster, done something that the powder coater could have done & then had my motor blow up cuz of sand! The chrome is old with some rust spots so I'll ask the powder coating guy about what he can do & what I need to do (sand or not, etc.). Thanks again! Bill ; )
