What happens here

For areas with stubborn, flaking rust that the pressure washer couldn't completely remove, an air needle scaler is employed. The Sunnex air needle scaler, powered by an air compressor, is used to chip away these persistent rust spots. The tool's rapid impact effectively cleans the metal surface, preparing it for further treatment. This process is particularly useful for hard-to-reach areas and mounting points.

Goal: Remove stubborn and flaking rust not removed by pressure washing.
