Best way to clean this up so it looks nice? Hate to paint a nice aluminum piece. Also don't like the "textured" looks beadblasting gives it

 

Nope, never said, nobody asked lol. She's a DO. Doctor of Osteopathy. Pretty much the same as a MD. She also does general surgery, not sure if she's to pursue or specialize further. Currently partnered with another physician who's retiring and plans to continue that practice on her own. I think that's as far as she's going to go personally.

 

Cool! Was just curious as my wife is a pediatrician, currently half way thru her first year of residency... MD without the Dr Salary... one step up from slave labor (if you take her salary divided by hours worked lol)

 

Definitely a great career. They'll never run out of work lol.

 

The absolute best way to clean that is with dry ice. If you can find someplace to dry ice blast it for you, it will look brand new when it's done - and it won't damage the surface at all, like sand/beads can. We rent one once a year at work to clean our machinery, and it does AMAZING.

 

Interesting, never heard of that before... looked it up and sure enough we have two in town so I'll give em a call tomorrow hopefully it's not too expensive

 

Me neither, like a frozen media blast. Really no sure how that would work without clogging lol. Good accessory I expect...one that doesn't heat up.

 

Check out this video.... it's a little extreme, but it shows you just how effective it is. I would have never guessed it would work as well as it does. But it rips grease, paint, and ink off like it's nothing. And according to this video, polyurethane, lol.

 

Huh! Is that a wet grease? Looks kinda funny don't it?

 

Says it's polyurethane for a brief second in the video.... but yeah, it looks like some kind of grease for sure.
