DRY ICE DETAILING
FOR INDUSTRIAL & AUTOMOTIVE
What Is Dry Ice Detailing?
The process of dry ice blasting is a gentle yet effective approach to cleanse your vehicle, eliminating any undesirable coatings, grime, dirt, or grease, restoring it to its original, brand-new appearance. This environmentally friendly cleaning method is a superior substitute for other methods like abrasive, soda, and sand blasting. The technique involves utilizing solid carbon dioxide pellets (the solid form of carbon dioxide) that are blasted at supersonic velocities within a compressed air stream, removing any dirt or contaminants from the surface. In addition to being safe for metal alloys, Dry Ice Blasting can be used to effectively remove contaminants from fabrics and interior components of your vehicle to restore their appearance!

Dry Ice Detailing FAQs
-
The technique of dry ice blasting involves the use of reprocessed solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets or MicroParticles that are expelled at supersonic velocities and sublime upon impact, removing any dirt or contaminants from the underlying surface. Dry ice cleaning is a gentle and safe method that is non-abrasive, non-conductive, non-toxic, and non-flammable.
-
The molecular size of dry ice allows for a thorough cleaning of the car's surface without causing any harm to the exterior paint. Nonetheless, it is essential to make some adjustments to ensure that the paint remains unaffected during the cleaning process. This will guarantee that no damage is inflicted on the surface of the car.
-
While dry ice blasting can eliminate loosely attached rust, surface rust, oxidation, and salts (SP 6), it cannot eliminate deeply entrenched or pitted oxidation. The gentle nature of dry ice does not provide enough abrasiveness to create a profile or a white metal finish.
-
