    laser cleaning

    Pretty cool, I use a small local company in Utah called My Super Green Car Wash & Detail, they actually use waterless cleaning on my bike and I love it, comforting knowing it rust that way. They do a great job (see link above). But cool video I found that pretty interesting.
