No I did not use a sand blaster on them. I use a fine wire brush on a Bench Grinder for painted items that are small. The Spindles are cleaned with Castrol Purple Cleaner and elbow grease. The axles I used the wire bush to cleam them up some. Same with the Drums lots of scrubing to get them clean about 3 hours into them!! I have a dip tank and a presure washer to clean big stuff. I use a presure washer(3200psi)sand/water mix on sheet metal and heavy castings, frame parts ect. After I clean parts I wash them with hot soapy water, rince and dry them so they don't rust. Mark H.
