I sertainly wouldn't mind skipping the $300 cost of media blasting, if a thorough cleaning by wire, etc. would be sufficient. It's getting at all those "nooks and crannies" of the front suspension and shock tower areas that concerns me (even with media blasting). <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,153)">"Flipping the frame over every which way" sounds interesting.
