Specialist dry ice blasting for supercars, collector vehicles, motorcycles and restoration projects. No water. No chemicals. No compromise.
Dry ice car cleaning is a non-abrasive cleaning method that uses compressed air to propel small dry ice pellets onto a vehicle's surface. The pellets instantly lift dirt, grease, oil, road grime and contaminants without using water or harsh chemicals. As the dry ice sublimates on contact, it leaves no residue behind, making it an exceptionally clean and efficient process.
Yes. When performed by experienced professionals using the correct equipment and pressure settings, dry ice blasting is safe for most automotive surfaces, including painted components, engine bays, suspension parts, chassis rails and underbodies. Because the process is non-abrasive, it cleans without grinding or scratching delicate surfaces.
Dry ice cleaning is ideal for engine bays, underbody components, suspension, wheel arches, chassis rails, transmission housings, brake assemblies, classic car restorations and even interior hard surfaces. It is commonly used on both modern vehicles and collector cars where preserving original finishes is important.
No. Dry ice pellets are much softer than traditional blasting media and sublimate (turn directly into gas) on impact. When used correctly, they remove contaminants without stripping factory paint, protective coatings or labels, making dry ice cleaning an excellent choice for sensitive automotive components.
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of dry ice engine cleaning is its ability to remove built-up oil, grease, road grime and dirt from engine components without introducing water into electrical systems. This makes it ideal for detailing, maintenance and pre-sale preparation.
Yes. Dry ice cleaning is considered one of the most environmentally responsible vehicle cleaning methods available. It uses recycled carbon dioxide, requires no cleaning chemicals, produces very little secondary waste and consumes no water during the cleaning process.
Unlike pressure washing, dry ice cleaning uses no water. This means there is no drying time, no risk of forcing water into electrical connectors or bearings, and no muddy runoff. It also cleans intricate areas that are difficult to reach using conventional washing methods.
Yes. Dry ice blasting has become a preferred cleaning method for classic, vintage and collector vehicles because it removes decades of dirt and grime while preserving original finishes, factory markings and delicate components. Many owners choose it before restoration, valuation or sale.
The time required depends on the size of the vehicle and the areas being cleaned. An engine bay may take one to two hours, while a full underbody and chassis clean can take several hours. Your technician can provide an accurate estimate after inspecting the vehicle.
Dry ice cleaning is excellent for removing dirt, grease and loose contaminants, but it is not designed to remove heavy corrosion or deeply embedded rust. However, it is often used before rust treatment because it thoroughly cleans the surface without damaging the underlying metal.
Almost any vehicle can benefit, including daily drivers, luxury cars, performance vehicles, 4WDs, trucks, motorcycles, classic cars and vehicles being prepared for sale or concours events. It's particularly valuable where preserving original finishes and accessing hard-to-reach areas is important.
There is no fixed schedule, but many owners choose dry ice cleaning every few years, before selling their vehicle, after major mechanical work, or as part of a restoration or detailing programme. Vehicles regularly driven on gravel roads, beaches or in harsh conditions may benefit from more frequent cleaning to prevent the build-up of dirt and contaminants.
