I want to tidy up a bit of rust on my 320i rear valance before I sell it.
Anyone know where I can get aluminium oxide from for shot blasting? I have the necessary attachment for my air-compressor, but nothing to blast with.

Yeah, sharp sand is the stuff. It's just a question of it being dry. Also worried about it being too dusty, as the neighbours will find a layer of dust on their cars

Don't use builders sand, you risk getting silicosis.
I got my blast media from
www.acegrit.co.uk
But you may want to try finding someone close to where you live, as transport is expensive....
Make sure you wear lots of protection, I had a hood, face shield and safety glasses, and the odd bit still found its way in to my eyes!
