spot blaster
I need to remove some heavy surface rust in the corners of my pickup's bed. Seems like a spot blaster would be more effective than a wire brush, etc.
I'd appreciate your recommendations on blasters and what type media to use. Thanks.

Re: spot blaster
Decided to borrow a friend's air needle scaler instead of messing with sand.
