Has anyone used this one. it does not look to badly priced... "converts between Soda and aggressive abrasive blasting"

looks like it could be handy

Harbor Freight has similar units for a lot less. I've thought about it too but have never used one. I think they're probably all made n China.

Another option if you don't use it too much....

You will need a good size compressor 10 cfm or better I just use walnut shells you can shoot them through any sand blaster

this thing looks pretty useful for using around the van.

Youtube has lots of videos on soda blasting. It's pretty amazing how much gunk, paint, rust, etc you can remove in a short time with very little effort. Just do a search on that site.

The cheapo harbor freight model might be better for the modest needs of most van owners . . .

I've used that- if your only doing a small area it's fine but if you are doing a lot (ie. an entire vehicle) you might want to look at other options.
