Warp-Free Panel Stripping: Laser cleaning can remove layers of paint, primer and selected coatings from automotive panels and components with precise control. Unlike abrasive blasting, the process does not rely on blasting media, making it particularly useful for detailed restoration work. Laser parameters can be adjusted according to the material, coating and condition of the panel.
Preserving Original Details: When correctly controlled, laser cleaning can remove surface contamination while helping preserve important original details such as factory stampings, tool marks and panel features. Each application is assessed individually, and laser parameters are adjusted to suit the material and condition of the component.
Intricate Component Cleaning: Laser cleaning can reach detailed and difficult-to-access areas of components such as wire wheels, suspension parts, brackets and intricate hardware where conventional cleaning methods can be difficult or time-consuming.

Paint & Coating Removal

Industry: Automotive & Restoration

Rust Elimination: Strips away years of road grime, scale, and deep rust from structural chassis rails, crossmembers, and floors.
Underseal & Coating Removal: Laser cleaning can be used to remove suitable underseal, rubberised coatings, paint and other surface coatings from automotive components. The appropriate laser settings depend on the coating, substrate and condition of the surface.
Weld & Coating Surface Preparation: Prepare suitable steel surfaces for welding, priming and coating by removing rust, paint, coatings and other contaminants. Laser cleaning provides a controlled, non-abrasive method of preparing the surface before the next stage of restoration or fabrication.

Carbon & Residue Removal: Laser cleaning can remove carbon deposits and baked-on residues from suitable engine components, cylinder heads and other automotive parts. The cleaning parameters can be adjusted according to the component and level of contamination.
Oil, Grease & Residue Removal: Remove accumulated oil, grease and surface residues from suitable cast iron, steel and aluminium components without relying on chemical stripping or abrasive blasting.
Multi-Material Component Cleaning: Different metals respond differently to laser energy, so the laser parameters can be adjusted according to the material and application. Suitable components may include aluminium castings, steel brackets and alloy housings. Where appropriate, we can test a small area before completing the full job.

Gasket & Sealant Surface Preparation: Clean suitable mating surfaces on components such as gearbox housings, differential housings and engine covers by removing old gasket material, sealant and surface contamination. Proper surface preparation can help provide a clean surface for reassembly and new sealing materials.
Brake & Hub Component Cleaning: Remove suitable rust, glaze, friction dust and surface contamination from components such as brake callipers, hubs and backing plates. Components containing rubber, seals or other sensitive materials should be assessed before cleaning.
Thread & Fastener Cleaning: Remove rust, corrosion and accumulated contamination from suitable bolts, studs, fasteners and threaded components to assist with cleaning and restoration before reassembly.
