Laser Cleaning

Laser cleaning strips rust, old paint, and contaminants down to bare metal with no media, water, or damage to the surface underneath.

How it works

A focused laser beam burns rust, old paint, and surface contaminants off the metal, no media, water, or chemicals involved. There's no blast media to buy, bag, or clean up after, and the base metal underneath keeps its original thickness.

Why it's different from blasting

Sandblasting is faster across big flat surfaces, but it takes a thin layer of metal along with the rust. A laser only removes what doesn't belong there. That matters on precision components, tight tolerances, and anything where losing thickness isn't an option. It's also easier on the shop floor: less dust, less cleanup, no spent media to haul out at the end of the day.

Where we use it

Industrial equipment, machinery components, fabricated parts, commercial vehicles, and specialty restoration jobs where the surface has to come out clean without changing shape or size. If a part is going back into service under tight tolerances, this is usually the right call before it heads to the booth.

Common questions

No. That's the point of it. The laser targets rust, paint, and contaminants and leaves the base metal alone, unlike blasting, which removes a thin layer of the metal along with everything on top of it.

On large flat surfaces, usually. It earns its keep on precision parts and tight spots where you can't afford to lose material. Blasting still wins the race across big open panels.

It works on both. The laser reacts to what's sitting on top of the metal, rust, paint, coatings, so it cleans aluminum and steel components without the risk of thinning either one.

Yes. It removes old paint and coatings the same way it removes rust and corrosion, layer by layer, down to bare metal, without media or chemicals left over to clean up.

It's easier on nearby components than blasting because there's no media flying around to get into gaps, seals, or wiring. Tell us what's near the area that needs cleaning and we'll plan the job around it.
