What I like about using soda is it leaves the aluminium surface basically unscuffed. Unlike steel-wool that polishes the surface.
So for parts that you want to shine up steel-wool and elbow grease is awesome.
If you want the parts to remain "factory" looking then soda works great.
The Adendorff gun with the hose comes with two nozzle sizes and two air jet sizes. I found the smaller of the two worked great with sand and soda.
Just poke a hole in the sand/soda bag and press in the tube. No modifications or experimenting required.
I am using a 3hp 150L compressor though, so I had no issues at all with air volume.
I may be nuts, but I am one who if I can do it myself, I will. And along with that comes a certain amount of satisfaction.
This method and the mess it makes may not be for everyone, but when on a budget to get things done, and fairly quickly at that, it is a workable option.
