Inlet manifold cleaning

[Clio172NE]

Is soda blasting best for cleaning up inlet (also want to do injector rail guard) but also been recommended aqua blasting.
what would be better or both give similar results?

Both would give similar results, I know with our vapormatt at work we would use 2bar for ally and 6 bar for steel/titanium.

Ive just had mine glass blasted, only because they are going off for paint.

^^ that doesn't even look like it needs painting?

Looks nice for now, wont stay that way for long though without any protection, could go for a clear sealant.

I don't want them sliver, got them blasted to make painting them better.

But yes without any protection they will soon go dull.
