laser cleaning versus sandblasting

Has anybody tried laser cleaning for a classic car shell, that has been overcome with 'patina'? I also wonder are those things restricted, having hundreds of watts of power, that could do a lot of damage in the wrong hands.


The laser is tuned to whatever you don't want to remain; paint, rust, oil etc. Laser ablation vaporizes the crud without harming the substrate.
