# Clays Vapour Blasting

Clays Vapour Blasting is a specialist cleaning and restoration service based in Saint Austell, dedicated to the meticulous care of high-value motorcycle and car components. Operating from a passion for custom bikes, the business serves enthusiasts, custom builders and collectors who demand flawless results on irreplaceable parts.

The company utilises vapour blasting technology—a gentler alternative to traditional shot blasting—which combines glass-bead media and water to remove dirt, grime, oil and grease without compromising the integrity of metal surfaces. Unlike aggressive methods, vapour blasting preserves the base material whilst delivering a smooth, satin finish that's easier to maintain and ideal for gasket faces and bearing housings.

Clays specialises in restoring carburettors, engine cases, cylinder heads, manifolds, brake callipers, master cylinders, yokes and forks. The proprietor's extensive riding experience and custom motorcycle expertise ensures a deep understanding of client needs and expectations—consistently exceeded through precision workmanship.

What sets this business apart is its commitment to preparation and finishing detail. All components are thoroughly washed, blown through with compressed air and dried with heat guns to eliminate moisture and media residue. Optional ultrasonic cleaning for carburettors provides additional refinement. The business also offers dry blasting for surface preparation before painting or powder coating, and can handle gasket and bearing removal as an additional service.

This is restoration work executed by someone who genuinely understands and respects the craft.
