Do I need to have my garage wired for special voltage to use what your talking about?

You will need special voltage only if you get an air compressor that uses a different voltage than what you currently have.
If you are on a budget, you could get a small portable blaster like this one and use Black Beauty Slag (also known as Black diamond or black blast). An 80 pound bag of black beauty runs $16, versus $50 for a 50 pound box of aluminum oxide.
But you are better off getting a BIG compressor and BIG blasting cabinet. You will wind up using the air for a whoooole lot more than just blasting. The only reason NOT to buy bigger is if you dont have the funds or the room. And trust me, sandblasting kicks @$$... save the chemical soaking for delicate parts. Besides, if you soak a part in chemicals, i'll bet you get to breathe those chems when you outgas. Real good for the lungs
