Yeah, that sounds like a really awesome idea.  All the benefits of media blasting but no tons of media to clean up afterwards.  Heck, you could prolly blast the trans while it is still in the car! Just don't stick your head in there and expect to see or breathe.



OT:  My wife trained at a hospital a few blocks from an elementary school.  On Halloween, kids started flooding the emergency room.  They were having trouble breathing, fainting, throwing up, etc.  It turns out they had packed all the kids in one room for an assembly, and used way too much dry ice to give it a Halloween flare.  Ooops.  The sad thing is that no one at the ER could figure out what had happened to them, but they saw that they got better on Oxygen and used it liberally.
