Don’t forget to rinse the windshield wipers and I would recommend pulling the gloves out every 7 - 10 days and cleaning where your hands go to prevent dirt/grease buildup so you don’t have to replace them all the time. It will also prevent spreading germs through the shop. You should fabricate some sort of rack that helps to support the work so you don’t run the risk of having the force of water knocking the part out of your hands. Science has shown that to be effective water has to be a minimum of 68 degrees to have any cleaning power. And above 68 degrees will clean on its own as opposed to water below 68 degrees. In other words make sure the water is at least 68 degrees to be sure to really clean things.That’s a great machine and should increase the productivity and quality of the work that comes out of your shop. Congratulations on the purchase.
@ bme Sorry but water temperature does matter. Water temperature below 68 degrees will soften dirt but is ineffective in rinsing dirt away on its own. Simply raising the temperature to 68 or above provides a better chance to actually remove dirt/grime. The higher the temperature the better the cleaning action. Think of dipping a dirty item in cold water as compared to dipping that same item in water that is 190 degrees. Which do you think is going to come out cleaner? In order to provide minimum “scrubbing” action on its own, water needs a minimum temperature. That is why the unit itself has a heating element in it. They wouldn’t need one if it didn’t matter.
The water acts to carry the media and to keep the parts cool. The blasting action of the force of the media hitting the part carries the grime away while the water keeps the dust down and cools the part. The parts will then be rinsed and dried with compressed air more than likely.
This is very good advice. Plus, if cold water was an effective cleaner on oil and fat (and sugar) we wouldn't have to ensure our dishwasher detergents work best at water temp of no lower than 140⁰ F. I think a small plexiglass shield should be bolted somewhere handy but not in the way when blow drying the cleaned parts. It'd work to help protect eyes on the majority of parts. Only bulky items would require safety glasses or a helmet shield.
AMD, Proximity to lunchtime may have affected my judgment but I thought that was a chicken 🐔roaster at first glance. I was bracing myself to be even more jealous of the lucky folks in your live studio audience. 😉😄
You know I am not really into car repairs but you are literally one of my favorite TH-camrs because your passion for the ins and outs of cars is amazing!
I've dealt with companies who have similar issues. Their product is perfection. It's operation, efficiency, appearance and value are beyond question due to the ability and talents of their engineers, designers and technicians. While those people are incredibly talented in their fields those fields do not cover communication and explanation abilities, and they incorrectly assume their customers are as smart as they are about the device.
Awesome tool. I've used something similar in the past. It is so worth it to avoid the dust. Also, you thank us, but we should also thank you. You've made us toyota owners a lot more knowledgeable when it comes to making repair and purchase decisions. Your honesty is invaluable.
There's a lot they don't tell you about vapor blasters, a real learning curve ahead. The videos make it look so easy: just spay and get miracle results- I can do that! There's a lot more to getting consistent results. AMD, yours uses a lot of power and it's a cfm air hog. Most owners have to first upgrade their compressors as well when getting one (check your cfm rating before buying the blast cabinet) so add a couple thousand for that to the budget. Here's a big one: you're going to spend half your time thoroughly cleaning the parts of abrasive afterwards. If you miss some abrasive (it's so fine and iridescent you can't always see it), you'll seize fasteners in threaded holes. After cleaning I check every hole with a fastener, as part of the job. Takes time. You can't back out the fastener if it hits abrasive you missed- you'll pull out the threads (fixable) or ruin the part. There's lots more to it, and much more maintenance time involved to the process. I've worked in a $40,000 Vixen, they are the Rolls Royce of vapor blasters for sure- they're even made in the UK.
There is something consistent between you and car care nut - you BOTH attempt to work within reality and the best practices, and are willing to learn those, and admit when you don't know. Can you imagine a world where every single person had to follow that as law, or get arrested if they didn't??? Some companies would fall, some countries would fall. Those left would have the confidence of the people. Every toy has a downside. The real downsides are enough to deal with, when the hype doesn't match the reality, it gets much worse. My immediate concern was what I have heard about remanufactured or aftermarket water pumps. What you state reinforces my concerns. Just because a part LOOKS clean and good, doesn't mean it is.
I worked in an Apparatus Repair shop for 43 years(large motors , generators, transformers). I told one of my bosses--the only reason I stayed there for so long was the Glass Bead Blaster. We used it for our customer's work and our own DIY projects--I once blasted a whole Vespa motorscooter body to bare metal!! Looking at your new Toy--this is like taking our machine and putting it on steroids!! I want one!! Good luck, great presentation----------Mikey
Congrats this going to save so much time and money , I so happy for you and the shop again congratulations and the big investment like that but well deserved Gods bless
Laser isn't as expensive as they used to be. The problem with lasers is they are still very risky, especially if the product comes from China and you don't know if the goggles are actually going to save your eyes.
So as a past shop owner Im very proud to see innovations in parts cleaning, I had a hot soap wash cabinet and Sandblast cabinet, and a Steam Jenny. That aquablast is way cool. I appreciate your down to earth attitude. God will continue to bless never forget. MerryChristmas to you and the Boss.
You are the very reason why I love watching all your videos. Super informative and very thorough in explanation. I am a DIY'er myself and I love working on my own vehicles. Your videos are the to go to, when I run into small minor issues and I need some info guide. You are a God send. Bless your heart for making these awesome videos available. Live long and prosper Mr AMD.
After seeing Streten enjoying his favorite toy, I'm sure you will have a blast with yours! The transformations these blasting cabinets pull off are amazing!
There are guys on TH-cam that clean the underside of cars using dry ice and that’s very satisfying to watch the way it doesn’t hurt any rubber parts or electrical parts in. It just takes the grease, rust and grime off. I wonder if that company who makes these dry ice cleaners make cabinets like yours for small jobs?
@11:42 AMD thank you for sharing this part about support. I work as a Lab Equipment Engineer for a biotech company and this is the norm. I am responsible for servicing very complex equipment both electrically and mechanically and manufacturers do NOT provide service manuals (user manuals are different), they refuse the direct sale of spare parts, and offer expensive service contracts in lieu of that. Manufacturers of equipment like this these days do not support customer repair of their equipment. This is the norm across many industries. In fact, it seems automative is one of the only industries that still make service resources available to third party service providers. Thank you for giving us a run down on the machine though and being honest as you always do. I will say it is very cool!
You deserve everything of this. Your honesty, transparency, knowledge and time that you share with us os on another level. I've learned a lot and enjoyed watching your videos! Props to you Amd
You deserve the success. One of the few automotive related TH-camrs that doesn’t seem to be in the back pocket of the auto manufacturers. Honest reviews like the ones that you do is all that we want.
AMD, love your channel. Very nice machine. I also have a vapor blast cabinet. I will tell you. You need to clean all dirt and grease from the parts before blasting them in your wet cabinet. I know, it is like washing your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher but by doing so, it will keep your filters really clean and you will very seldom have to clean any of them. A wet blast cabinet is really meant to be used to bring the shinny, like new finish back to aluminum part, not for heavy cleaning. There are a lot of different size media and pressure settings you can use. With low pressure and fine media, you can actually polish aluminum. Good luck with it, they are awesome machines!
I wish that you had a shop in Central Florida, there are no independent Lexus repair shops here. Who ever opens one up, it would be like having a license to print money.
I have been using dry media sand blasting machines for 20 years. I have heard of wet surry blasting machines. I have never seen one with a wiper! Cool it will save you tons of time.
I have cleaned hundreds of parts on a regular shop sandblaster. Just as fast and no mess. We also had glass beader that produce the same finish after sandblasting.
We had three glass-bead blasters and two sand blasters at work. We used walnut shells in one of the glass-bead machines, which was gentle on parts and left a beautiful finish.
Hi amd I have used this machine on precision dies in the uk I found out that after blasting the dies we had to wash out all female threads very thoroughly because the glass media is diamond hard also the media does end up inside your mouth too I recommend a dust mask too
I always watch your videos and all are great. As electrical engineer I can tell you that you need to use a breaker based on the load you are protecting. Please do not forget to evaluate the circuit wires as well. If you were using a 20 amps breaker must likely the wiring was # 12 AWG. If you are using a 50 amps breaker now without replacing the wires you will damage them and that is too dangerous. For a 50 amps breaker you will need wires # 8 or 6 AWG based on the wires insulation type.
I love your channel because, not only do you demonstrate fine automotive repair, you branch out into all aspects of the automotive industry, such as the decline of the dealership service industry, the good, bad and the ugly of Toyota products, and excellent tips on how the average DIY’ers can take excellent care of our cars. Then, the cleanliness of your shop is an inspiration to show what’s possible for private automotive repair shops. Thank you for being you!
I've seen people make their own dry sandblaster just with a big air compressor and a carefully planned out length of tubing to try and minimize blockages, but this looks much faster and more manageable to work with! Have fun!
AMD, that is such a great machine. How satisfying that must be for you to be working with clean parts and putting clean parts on your customers vehicles. This brings up the level of perceived professionalism.
That will save so much time & effort Ahmed,you'll get some friends who wanna use that too....mark my words. 😀 It's such a god. We're so happy your business is doing so well. ❤
Nice! It has been a wonderful journey. I've been watching since you operated out of your home garage. So happy for you and your family. By the way.... all of your success didn't happen by accident. Give yourself a pat on the back for all your hard work and dedication to doing it right!
Very cool, these things are amazing, wish I didn’t live 1000 miles away I’d bring some parts in! The Lord is blessing you and your shop, “pressed down and shaken together” is what I think would describe your situation? Keep up the great Toyota content!
Having the right tools makes the work a ton more enjoyable
I literally did laugh out loud when AMD said my left kidney has left the chat.
If only if he were to use some rectangular prism shaped *Very Nice Bright LED Flashlight With a Magnet on the Back go to Daves to get...* it would totally instantly fix all of his problems!
You are TOO humble. It's your ethics, conscious, and kindness, along with expertise that got you where you are. 👍🖖🇺🇸
You deserve every blessing that you have earned. Congratulations from a long time viewer.🎉
AMD has earned his success and that is one of the reasons I love this channel.
I could work that machine all day, it must be so satisfying to pull those clean parts out.
if i lived near by and need parts washed i would totally pay them and ask if could wash the part myself, lol so worth the $$ to rent the time/use. lol
M539 Restorations uses this machine and the parts come out looking amazing
Came for this comment
Don’t forget to rinse the windshield wipers and I would recommend pulling the gloves out every 7 - 10 days and cleaning where your hands go to prevent dirt/grease buildup so you don’t have to replace them all the time. It will also prevent spreading germs through the shop. You should fabricate some sort of rack that helps to support the work so you don’t run the risk of having the force of water knocking the part out of your hands. Science has shown that to be effective water has to be a minimum of 68 degrees to have any cleaning power. And above 68 degrees will clean on its own as opposed to water below 68 degrees. In other words make sure the water is at least 68 degrees to be sure to really clean things.That’s a great machine and should increase the productivity and quality of the work that comes out of your shop. Congratulations on the purchase.
It's the pressure and medium that cleans the part. Water temp doesn't matter.
@ bme Sorry but water temperature does matter. Water temperature below 68 degrees will soften dirt but is ineffective in rinsing dirt away on its own. Simply raising the temperature to 68 or above provides a better chance to actually remove dirt/grime. The higher the temperature the better the cleaning action.

Plus, if cold water was an effective cleaner on oil and fat (and sugar) we wouldn't have to ensure our dishwasher detergents work best at water temp of no lower than 140⁰ F.
I think a small plexiglass shield should be bolted somewhere handy but not in the way when blow drying the cleaned parts. It'd work to help protect eyes on the majority of parts. Only bulky items would require safety glasses or a helmet shield.
@@fubartotale3389 why would you have to keep the parts cool? You're blasting it with cool water. Did any of you people go to physics class in school?
God bless you because you are an honest man.
AMD, Proximity to lunchtime may have affected my judgment but I thought that was a chicken 🐔roaster at first glance. I was bracing myself to be even more jealous of
the lucky folks in your live studio audience. 😉😄
It'll blow the feathers off !!!😉🤠✌️
@@tonydanzl And wash it off!
And cook it with the heater😀
Congratulations on the new parts cleaner at your shop! Thank you for blessings to end each episode! ❤❤❤
Wonderful addition! Congrats! Well deserved! A huge blessing from God!
You know I am not really into car repairs but you are literally one of my favorite TH-camrs because your passion for the ins and outs of cars is amazing!
Thank you for being honest and a good person!
You and M539 restorations are the two youtubers I follow you have this Aquablast machine!
AMD, all the credit goes to you. Your drive and enthusiasm is amazing. You make us feel like we're family. Thank you.
First M539 now TCCN, I want an Aqua Blast so bad
Customer support is lacking for most companies and unfortunately the buyer has to figure it out for themselves. Glad you speak out on this stuff.
Looks like a very satisfying machine to use
What an incredible piece of machinery.
i enjoy watching the shop progressing as much as the wrenching.
Your honesty and willingness to do right by your customers and viewers. The shop expansion is well deserved.
Congratulations AMD, what a fantastic cleaning machine. Sure beats hand cleaning and the garden hose method.
I've dealt with companies who have similar issues. Their product is perfection. It's operation, efficiency, appearance and value are beyond question due to the ability and talents of their engineers, designers and technicians.

I didn't think vapor blasters used media?
@@mcplutt 20% fine media, 80% water. It's kind of a slurry, it goes everywhere at 60psi working pressure.

You have earned every toy you have in that shop of yours. Blood sweat and tears.
Congrats this going to save so much time and money , I so happy for you and the shop again congratulations and the big investment like that but well deserved Gods bless
Vapor blast is a great way to go, dry ice blast is good, but needs large quantities if dry ice. Lasers are prohibitively expensive.
Laser isn't as expensive as they used to be. The problem with lasers is they are still very risky, especially if the product comes from China and you don't know if the goggles are actually going to save your eyes.
glad for you wishing you all the best as you move forward
I don't own a shop. I don't even do most car repairs. But man do I like that machine!
That water nozzle is old school. I remember working at a gas station where they had that and the air hose next to the gas pumps in the old days.
We love you too, brother.
So as a past shop owner Im very proud to see innovations in parts cleaning, I had a hot soap wash cabinet and Sandblast cabinet, and a Steam Jenny. That aquablast is way cool. I appreciate your down to earth attitude. God will continue to bless never forget. MerryChristmas to you and the Boss.

Hi i already finish my TACT and i learn more from you than the entire class year
God speed brother. I’m glad for your purchase. It seems to bring you lots of joy.
The machine housing looks to be based on an old railroad track maintenance crew trolley! Cheers
Congratulations. You do a great job. I am glad you were able to get this equipment.
AMD congrats on the new machine in your garage
Nice investment AMD. Makes all parts look new 😎😎👍👍Thank you for your sharing

Hi amd
I have used this machine on precision dies in the uk I found out that after blasting the dies we had to wash out all female threads very thoroughly because the glass media is diamond hard also the media does end up inside your mouth too I recommend a dust mask too
This machine blasts wet media. No dust in mouth.
If you get dust in your mouth , your sandblaster enclosure is not sealed and vented properly.
Thats insane, what a good machine. I didnt even know that existed lol
I always watch your videos and all are great. As electrical engineer I can tell you that you need to use a breaker based on the load you are protecting. Please do not forget to evaluate the circuit wires as well. If you were using a 20 amps breaker must likely the wiring was # 12 AWG.
