Hello mate, I started with my sand blaster but it just makes so much mess and with the weather I usually wheel it outside but where its been raining for the last errrrrr 2 months I went back to some nitromors but to be honest that was a pain as you have to wash it down after.
So I went for a wire wheels and then detail sander and various grades, which was the better option.
I will use my sandblaster just to go back round all the seams and any bits of rust that is left.
What part of Southampton are you from?
Woodmill/Riverside Park here
