That is incredible. Seems like a game changer for that kind of resto work.

Dealing with rust is mostly a male situation, another little oddity of the different worlds of the male and female.
A lot of us males think about rust quite often.

Technology always improving. When I was young lasers were crude devices..

It appears to beat sand blasting. Wonder what the price is of such a unit? What happens if contact is made with a human?
To: Fai Mao
Current dry ice blasters work just fine in car restoration.

Lasers… Imagine how it can clean your rooftop! Unless it's blue.

I would imagine the laser that can do that needs a beefy power supply.

Impressive! Out of my price range though.
To: Saintgermain
"Unfortunately, there is a rather large drawback - the cost. These state-of-the-art contraptions ain’t sitting on Machine Mart’s shelves for £50. The cheapest version on the market is a much smaller, less-powerful 20W unit that starts at $80,000 (£62,000). That 1000W specimen from the video would set you back an eye-watering $480,000 (£370,000). So it’s fair to say that laser rust removal is probably out of the reach of most petrolheads trying to restore their project car for next month’s car meet."Hugely expensive
To: Enterprise
But for someone who specializes in sand blasting it may be a worthwhile invstment, all epending on the durability of such a unit.
To: Enterprise
Mine too. $14,000 is a lot of cash
