Vapor Honing Service

What Is Vapor Honing?

Vapor honing (wet blasting) uses water plus media to clean and finish parts, giving a smooth, satin, uniform surface instead of a harsh, dusty blast profile.

The water cushions the media, so parts see less surface damage, less dimensional change, and far fewer embedded particles than typical dry blasting.

Why Choose Vapor Honing?

• Gentle on parts: Water-cushioned media protects thin walls, tight tolerances, threads, standoffs, and complex shapes.
• Cosmetic finish: Produces a smooth, satin, uniform finish ideal for visible or functional race components.
• Protects base material: Great for aluminum, stainless, titanium, and magnesium where you want to preserve geometry.
• Consistent results: Easier to repeat finishes across batches and ideal for light deburring without aggressive material removal.

Dry blasting is typically reserved for aggressive stripping or rugged, non-cosmetic prep.

Ideal Parts for Vapor Honing

• Engine cases, cylinder heads, and intake/exhaust manifolds
• Small covers, brackets, and hardware
• Delicate or anodized components where surface integrity matters
• Precision race parts that need clean, repeatable cosmetic finishes
