3. Use the Right Equipment. We have a wide variety of equipment options to choose from, depending on your specific needs. From single rim blasters to fully automated flow through units, they can help you find the right equipment to achieve the best finish possible.
4. Use the Right Media. After the burn off pretreatment, you’ll need to blast the wheels to remove any remaining contaminants. There are quite a few media options, including steel shot and grit mixtures. Make sure you choose the properly sized media for your specific application.
5. Follow the Right Process. A proven process for steel wheel reconditioning can ensure the best finish possible. Follow the process closely, and you’ll be able to achieve consistent results every time.
