could laser clean all the rust?

I saw this video on youtube, I was wondering if all the old cars could be cleaned quick with a device like this:

That's pretty cool. Bet it's not cheap though! I also wonder what it would do with thicker rust.

High powered units are anywhere from $300k to $450k for the 1000W machine. Very cool stuff though.

All line of sight. Pretty fast and it would be great for large items like ships or bridges or high volume but for a vehicle im thinking soda blasting and acid dipping will remain the best solution. Its the hidden stuff that kills vehicles.

How about an electrolysis tank.

A swimming pool, some expanded metal, and hack into a sub-station, might do a whole vehicle.... :sombrero:

Still line of sight from positive to negative elements I believe.
