Revolutionary car cleaning
How it works
Dry ice cleaning is a non-abrasive, eco-friendly method for cleaning cars. It is especially effective for restoring classic cars.
Kinetic Energy
High-Speed Impact: Dry ice pellets are propelled at high velocity using compressed air. The kinetic energy from the impact helps dislodge contaminants from the surface
Thermal Shock
Extreme Cold (-78°C): The dry ice rapidly cools the contaminant, causing it to contract and lose adhesion to the underlying surface. This thermal shock is particularly effective on materials like grease, and dirt.
Sublimation
Rapid Expansion: Upon impact, dry ice sublimates (turns from solid to gas), creating tiny explosions that break the bond between the contaminant and the surface. This process lifts debris without leaving any residue.
What are the benefits?
Non Abrasive
Dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive, meaning it won't damage the surfaces being cleaned. This is particularly beneficial for delicate parts and finishes on vehicles.
No Residue
Since dry ice sublimates (turns from solid to gas) upon contact, it leaves no residue. This eliminates the need for additional cleanup of abrasive media or water, which is required in other cleaning methods like sandblasting or pressure washing.
Effective on tough contaminants
Dry ice blasting is highly effective at removing tough contaminants such as grease, oil, tar, adhesives, and road grime. It can penetrate into crevices and tight areas that are hard to reach with traditional cleaning methods.
Eco Friendly
Dry ice is made from recycled CO2 and does not produce secondary waste. It's a greener option compared to chemical cleaners, which can be harmful to the environment and require disposal of hazardous materials.
safe for electrical components
Dry ice cleaning is safe for electrical components because it is a dry process. It can clean engine bays, electrical connectors, and other sensitive areas without the risk of short-circuiting or damage.
improves vehicle longevity
Regular dry ice cleaning can help maintain the vehicle's appearance and performance by removing corrosive substances and buildup that can cause wear and tear over time.
