Automotive Parts Cleaning and stripping

The result is clean, bare metal - free of grease, rust, oxide or contaminates, and ready for whatever comes next, re-assemby, a fresh coat of paint, or machining, welding, or repair

Precision Laser Cleaning for Automotive Steel and Alloy Components

Whether you're restoring a classic car, maintaining a race car, rebuilding an engine, or preparing parts for refinishing, getting components truly clean is critical. Traditional methods like sandblasting, wire brushing, chemical stripping, and solvent baths, are time-consuming, messy, and can damage precision surfaces, delicate alloys, and machined finishes.

Our laser system strips steel and alloy automotive components back to bare, pristine metal. Quickly, precisely, and without contact or abrasion.

No blasting media required and no residue or clean up needed. Most importantly, no clogged holes or blocked oil galleries or other internal damage that can occur with vapour blasting and sand blasting.

What we remove:

  • Paint and coatings - stripped cleanly without pitting or surface damage

  • Rust and surface oxides - eliminated down to bare metal, ready for treatment or refinishing

  • Grease and oil contamination - removed without solvents or chemical residue

  • Carbon deposits - pistons, heads, valves, and exhaust components cleaned to bare metal

  • Gasket material - old, baked-on gaskets removed from mating surfaces without scoring or scratching

  • Corrosion and scale - lifted cleanly from even the most intricate castings and components

Ideal for:

  • Engine blocks, cylinder heads, and intake manifolds

  • Pistons, valves, and combustion chambers

  • Brake calipers, hubs, and suspension components

  • Exhaust manifolds, headers and mufflers

  • Gearboxes, differential casings, steering racks

  • Classic and vintage car restoration projects

  • Race car preparation
