That’s the kind of STD we actually can get rid of.

  • Laser cleaning utilizes a focused laser beam to vaporize contaminants from a surface, effectively removing substances like rust, paint, and other coatings without damaging the underlying material. It's a non-contact process that can be precise and selective, making it suitable for various applications in industries

  • The laser beam heats and vaporizes the rust or corrosion layer without damaging the underlying metal. The process causes the contaminant to instantly break away, while the clean surface remains intact and ready for coating or welding.

  • No—laser cleaning is designed to clean surface contaminants like light rust, paint, or oxidation without abrasion. It does not remove heavy rust scale or flaking corrosion. Because it’s non-abrasive, it can't break through scale buildup. For that, we offer a descaling service using pneumatic needle scalers, which physically chip away thick rust and scale before further cleaning or coating.

  • Yes—laser cleaning can take your vehicle’s frame down to clean, bare metal, but only if the surface is free of heavy rust scale. It’s highly effective at removing surface rust, paint, and oxidation, leaving behind a raw, contaminant-free metal surface. However, if your frame has thick rust scale, laser cleaning alone won’t remove it. In that case, a our descaling service is required first to break through the hardened corrosion before laser cleaning can finish the job.

  • Laser cleaning can be very precise, allowing for targeted removal of specific areas without affecting the surrounding material. This makes it useful for cleaning delicate items or preparing surfaces for our undercoating services.

  • Laser cleaning provides a clean, efficient, and precise way to remove surface contaminants without damaging the base metal. One of its biggest advantages is that it cleans down to bare metal, removing oxidation, paint, and grime while leaving the underlying surface intact. It’s non-abrasive, so there’s no grinding, pitting, or loss of material—making it ideal for delicate components and thin automotive panels.

    Because it uses no chemicals, abrasives, or blasting media, laser cleaning is also eco-friendly and low-mess, with virtually no cleanup required. Its precision allows targeted cleaning near sensitive areas like weld seams, grommets, or trim without risk. The end result is a surface that’s perfectly prepped for undercoating, painting, or welding—free of residue, oils, or embedded particles.
