Vapor honing is a surface refinishing process that combines water, compressed air, and abrasives to clean and restore surfaces. It is also known as vapor blasting, aqua blasting, wet blasting, slurry blasting, and dustless blasting. Vapor honing is a "wet" version of dry blasting, and it is less erosive to surfaces compared to sandblasting. The process has two main uses: cleaning and finishing a surface.

During the vapor honing process, abrasive materials are mixed with water and then sprayed onto the surface using compressed air. The water acts as a lubricant, which helps to prevent damage to the surface being worked on. The abrasives used in vapor honing can vary depending on the application, but common materials include glass beads, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide.

Vapor honing is a versatile technology that can be used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical. It can be used to clean and restore a wide range of surfaces, including metal, plastic, and glass. Compared to other surface refinishing processes, vapor honing is a more environmentally friendly option because it produces less dust and waste.
