Hopefully I'm not covering old territory here; I did a quick search and no one seems to have touched on this.
I was watching Bitchin' Rides where they had just received a body back from soda blasting. They said they were going to: "give it a zinc bath to etch the metal so it doesn't rust in 2-3 days. Then we grind it off when we go to do body work." They used a power washer and a hand held spray bottle. I'm guessing the power washer was to get the soda residue off, and the spray bottle was something like Eastwood After Blasting, which is a cleaner degreaser with zinc phosphate base. I'm not sure if anything but water was in the power washer, but if so wouldn't that promote rust?
Please tell me what you have done immediately after blasting. Thanks
