In Chennai, I get this done in an industrial area. The process of jetting pure sand at high pressure. It is not a domestic way to clean things. In Chennai, the guys does it on huge iron containers and pipes to clear of the iron dust and chemical treatment deposits while making them.

The silencer is then jetted by the hand gun like on to the one end of the opening. This high pressure blasting removes every possible immovable dirt inside the pipe.
After sand blasting you will notice the original color of inner metal show up. The inside surface becomes very rough if you feel it. The muffler and the bend pipe also treated in the same way. The silencer becomes so clean when you fit it back and drive will remind you of the bike's original beat. That would be a music to the ears. Here they charge between Rs. 70-100 depends on the industrial shed in that area.

I had to go that area and went to a mechanic got the silencer removed and took it to the industrial shed near by.
