Automotive Stripping

Established in 1995, Aquamax combines three decades of hydroblasting expertise with specialised knowledge in aviation, rail and automotive applications. Contact us today for your transportation and aviation requirements.

Stripping paint and corrosion is a common requirement when it comes to all things automotive.
Aquamax has been involved in specialised automotive restorations of many different types of vehicle ranging from trucks to rally cars.

Water jetting presents several key advantages over sandblasting. Firstly there is no heat generated so the sometimes, quite thin metal sheet does not suffer partial annealing during the process. This can soften the panels and has been known to cause sagging in roofs for example.

Another benefit is the lack of dust. Monocoque construction by its very nature creates crevices that trap dust and sand and can present problems during painting.

While for commercial vehicles, truck chassis, electrics and hydraulics can be expensive to remove during a do-up and if left in place these are vulnerable to damage from abrasive blasting. Water jetting is a much better option for stripping paint and corrosion from around vulnerable items

Aquamax has been involved in numerous specialised automotive restorations, offering these professional auto blasting services:
