-The term "sandblasting" is confusing, as, in its most specific interpretation, it means [[Media blasting|abrasive blasting]] using sand as the blasting medium.
-More commonly, "sandblasting" is used to refer to [[Media blasting|abrasive blasting]] using any blasting medium. This is somewhat of a misnomer, as sand is frequently a poor choice for a blasting medium.
-==Sandblasting body panels is generally ill-advised==
-Sandblasting automotive body panels, using sand as the blasting medium, is not recommended, for the following reasons:
-*Prolonged sand blasting of thin sheet metal causes frictional heat (''disputed; needs confirmation'') and peening that may cause the metal to ding, warp, or pit.
-*Sand creates chloride ions and corrosive salts that promote rust. ''(this statement needs confirmation/expansion)''
