A Warning About Vapour Blasting
Vapour Blasting does involve the use of an abrasive media (usually glass bead) in a water solution. This abrasive will find its way inside the parts, so it's essential that the parts you are cleaning are completely disassembled before they are blasted (so they can be cleaned properly after blasting). I've seen many videos on YouTube showing people vapour blasting gearboxes! The media WILL get past seals and bearings, destroying your gearbox (or engine if it's an engine part you're cleaning).
