    I'm finally buying a GOOD pressure washer today. Its one with the Subaru engine, 3000 psi and 2.3 GPM.

    I have read about media blasting attachments that wet blast and wondered if y'all knew more about them - what to look for, what kind of media works, etc.

    educate me.

    I have used one with sand. That was a Loooong time ago. The main part I remember was if you didn't dry and treat immediately it would surface rust inside of an hour.

    I has an attachment for my PW and used it some. It worked up to a point but to get something blasted you have to do it with air and not water. A more powerful pressure washer and a pro type set up might work better then the one I had. The only reason I would use one is that the object I need to blast can't be moved and the dust from conventional air blasting would cause problems to surrounding area.

    I give pants leg woman more credit than heels lady in the back. Who does a workout/dance in heels unless there is a pole around?

    Maybe she has a pole at work and is more comfortable this way.
