Kind of like baking soda. It's really gentle on the metal. Although it's not recommended, it's supposed to be so gentle that you can blast down to prior bodywork (filler) without too much distortion to the "patch". Supposed to do just as good a job as sand/media, but without many of the draw backs, like panel warpage or pitting.

Cost comparison to regular sand/silica media?
