These first three pictures show various stages of a complete top to bottom strip down. In this case the customer removed all components for a ground up restoration.

As you will see later removing all components is not really necessary.

These are before and after shots of an exterior only strip down for a top quality repaint. This type of preparation eliminates any chance of problems telegraphing from the original finish.

Bare metal.

The next four photos show another example of preparation for a complete restoration.

Notice all the glue residue from a vinyl roof?

Soda cleans!! Try to do this with sandpaper!

As you can see this car got the full treatment.

Bare Metal.

This is the engine compartment of an early Mustang undergoing restoration. In this case we removed paints, grease, tar undercoating, and years of grime. All this was accomplished without removing components such as wiring, brake lines, and rubber hoses. This job was carried out in the customer's own driveway with no damage to the adjacent flowerbeds.

Notice how nothing is damaged, just cleaned.

Look closely at the co;ndition of this hood. You cn expect to see it after stripping and painting on a restored 63 Plymouth Belvedere at Show and Shines in 1999.

The next six photos will show you how this soda cleaning can be used for cleaning industrial equipment.

Notice how well the aluminum tank and dump polished to a glow.

This dump truck was layered with oxidation, diesel residue, dirt, and road grime. The cab is regularly washed and waxed but what do you do with the rest? It is simple! Soda Strip!

The soda stripping process will work for any and all equipment. Soda will not harm rubber or chrome so it is perfect for hydraulics. Soda is non abrasive and crushes to a fine, soluable powder so there is no fear of damage to bearings, gear boxes, ect.

This aluminum box is now cleaned and polished. The steel tailgate is stripped and ready for an new coat of paint.

These photos show the finished hull of a typical fin keel sailboat.

Before and after shots of a typical power cruiser.

There are many variables to stripping time for hulls; how many layers of paint, existing conditions of substrate, age of paint (lead content?), ect. We are more than willing to give you a free estimate at a time of your convenience. We can on request, also recommend marinas where work can be performed.

Some time examples for work are:

1. 35 foot Endurance ~ complete strip - 1 day

2. 42 foot Crogon ~ complete strip - 1.5 days

Below you will see some before and after photos of various items we have cleaned with the Soda Strip method.

Can you think of some more items?
