vapor does amazing on copper and brass as well. excellent for restoration of switches with contact points of slide contacts and fuse boxes! tons of benefits!

I have had the engine for my Suzuki RM80 project I have going at the moment vapour blasted.
It came up pretty well but needed some sand blasting first to remove the layers of paint from over the years.

I was very impressed with the results after my test and will continue to use. Alternator is next.

Wow this looks great! Thanks for sharing.

What machine and media are you using for those results? What is your process?

I just had my valve covers done and they turned out very nice. Found a local place in Dayton that does it.

Has anybody tried the PPG DX501 chromate wash post blast to prevent oxidation? I've got a bottle coming, but just would like to get some opinions.

The vapor blasting is supposed to seal the pores better than dry blasting -
I would like to see what the chromate wash does.

I used Aluminum Rescue Vapor Honing in Amery, WI

Very reasonable, and being that I'm in the midwest we have Speedee shipping service that is really cheap.
