- We see a lot of engines and parts with baked on grease and filth here at MotoIQ and our go-to place to get them cleaned up is Mountune USA in Carson, California. Mountune uses a process called vapor blasting which is basically shooting the parts in a cabinet with high pressure water mixed with a fine media. Watch today's video to find out how it all works!

Whenever i let anyone have a go on my vapour blaster people always wave it around in the cabinet.. (hehe) Yeah vixen, great machines but, If you are methodical you'll get good results from having a technique. I had my machine a year before i really got my head around all the little things involved. But so glad i did. If you have the budget go the Vixen route, if you don't study other youtubers who blast and you'll get there. Remember, having a dry blaster with same size bead as the wet blaster is a thing that's not talked about, dry blasting with bead!! That is a great way to preclean stuff before vapour blasting "same bead as wet blasting"!! After doing this both my vapour blaster and dry blaster perform better and i don't have to change out the water and media as much, Thanks for the great video guys.
How did I know they would be using Vixen long before I saw the cabinet. They are by far the best unit made. Quality costs, but they are the best.
I love putting clean parts back on a vehicle. Cool technology 👍👍
That’s awesome. I love seeing good safety practices on blast cleaning.
For pitted areas you can blend with dry and polish with wet.
Essentially the wet sanding method of media blasting 👍🏾
The guy on the left looks like he knows a really funny joke.
It’s just like dustless blasting but in a cabinet. That’s sweet. I been thinking about getting a dustless blasting setup.
Look for a used setup I see almost brand new all the time
I like that wiper action in that blast booth 😎😃!!
helps with efficiency as visibility is constantly blurred with the sand dripping and setting on the glass, but there's probably more frequent changes of protective screen otherwise i imagine the wiper would scuff up the window surface

How does it compare to dry ice?
Most of the difference is gonan come in at cost and how gentle the blasting is. Dry ice can be very gentle to even plastic parts,doesnt have to be isolated to a media cabinet and parts can be done on the car. Vapor honing is gentler than dry meda blasting but isnt goign to be as delicate as dry ice. Dry ice blasters can be insanely expensive compared to wet media cabinets. Each process has its place depending on what you want to clean up.
@@TankEpidemic thank you for the explanation, makes a lot of sense
@@jowarrior that was a very good question actualy 👍
What @TankEpidemic said.
No residue media to worry about with dry ice
Wow! like new without distortion!
There’s Alot of video on CZcams on how to easily make your own vapor blasting and works great
love the vibes
Very nice
Great video very satisfying
Where is y’all’s shop, and do you work with regular customers? I’d be interested in chatting with y’all about getting some stuff done. I have a vision!
In Southern California
I instantly thought of those kids that modify those vaporizers to produce big clouds of vapor. Lol
One wonders how this process would work on the fins of air-cooled engines.
Really well.
no laser radiation! wow! thats real sharp! gota try that out! looks as good as factory restored!! good luck!👍
I cannot figure out where vapor comes into play.
Its not exactly a solid stream of water I guess, its droplets and air.
What rush inhibitor do you use? in the cabinet
Not sure what they use.
How do you stop the aluminium from oxidising again in a few months time?
Keep it clean
I didn't know that Alodine solution could be bought in consumer quantities. That is good information.

Are you using a maintained foot pedal. I tried the bend and spray rinse nozzle not a fan went to a plastic rinse nozzle.
Just floored it. It has some kind of garden hose looking rinse nozzle.
Now toss it in a tumble polisher 😎
Is it better than walnut media for cleaning valves and inlets on gasoline direct injection motors?
Walnut is more delicate on the valve sealing surfaces and if ingested by the engine less harmful.
Advantage of walnut shells is you can clean the heads without removing from an engine where as vapor honing would require complete disassembly.
How is it vapour blasting??? Looks bloody wet to me in that cabinet!!!

Dunno that is one of the names for the process. It is pretty much a good stream of near solid liquid.
Aqua Blasting is more accurate
but that is not what it is commonly called
Very clean worn out parts
what is the cost comparison to dry ice blasting
Way cheaper
@@motoiq what size compressor is needed
Pretty huge, the compressor is a significant part of the cost.
@@motoiq so bigger than a 5hp
way way bigger
Does it use hot water?
No
Distilled or DI water?
Regular water works just fine.
How much does the machine cost new and used
About 50k with the external stuff like filters and a huge compressor.
@@motoiq would be nice to make an entire business and live w/,out worrying about bills or food because I could do that all day cleaning parts and finding parts in salvage yards.
too much yapping, get to the cleaning technology.
New process ? No !
We never claimed that this is a new process.
