no soda in my shop. i researched for a year before investing in the blasting business. soda was never intended for use on cars. it is used primarily in the food industry and industrial cleaning. was also used for grafiti removal. if done exactly right it may be ok but i will not chance any kind of acid or caustic materials. redoing one of these cars is not an option for me. i have learned over the past 40 years that solvents are the leading cause of paint failures. in talking with barry at spi the #1 call he gets is just about always some kind of metal prep or using lacquer thinner to wash with. he fields over a 100 calls a week sometimes so i figure he knows what he's doing. he mixes the materials so i go by his rules. to second guess the mfg is just asking for it. i have epoxy and urethane on my jobs. nothing else.
