Sandblasting (also called abrasive blasting or media blasting) uses compressed air to propel fine abrasive particles — silica sand, garnet, walnut shell, glass bead, or baking soda — at high velocity against graffiti-covered surfaces. The impact physically strips paint from the substrate, making it the most powerful mechanical removal method available.
