I first had my E.H holden fully sandblasted by Peter and his dad around 17 years ago when they were a new business. Since then, I've had them do a fair amount of stripping to confidently say they are always honest , upfront and cheap. They are good family and is no wonder why they are respected in the panel and paint game. xPRIESTx2023-01-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Superior Wet Blasting for Delicate & Precision Parts
Blastoff Surface Cleaning & Protective Coatings provides professional hydro blasting services for Thomastown, ideal for customers needing a smooth, polished, contamination-free finish on intricate components.
Hydro blasting (wet blasting) uses a controlled flow of water mixed with ultra-fine glass media to clean and polish surfaces without removing structural material.
- It’s the preferred method for:
- Soft metals
- Precision-machined parts
- Items that may warp, pit, or distort under aggressive blasting
- Engine components requiring a clean but non-abrasive finish
Our Heidelberg West workshop is only minutes from Thomastown, making it a convenient choice for automotive shops, machinists, engineering firms, restorers, and hobbyists in Melbourne’s north.
Perfect For
- Aluminium polishing & cleaning
- Motorcycle restoration
- Engine parts (carburettors, throttle bodies, intakes, housings)
- Alloy wheels (final finish clean — not stripping)
- Machined components
- Marine and small-engine parts
- Industrial and mechanical precision parts
Materials Suitable for Hydro Blasting
- Aluminium
- Stainless steel
- Brass & bronze
- Copper

For heavy rust removal or paint stripping, customers should use Abrasive Blasting instead — hydro blasting is strictly for polishing and cleaning, not profiling.
