Dry Ice Blasting
 
Just found out about this method of chassis and engine cleaning that reportedly is extremely thorough and does no damage to the painted surfaces, rubber or electrical parts.
I’ve had my spf for 14 years and have accumulated 35,000 miles of dirt and grime on my undercarriage. Looking to bring it back to new appearance.
Anyone used this method and what were your results?

Funny, but I only learned about it a few weeks ago myself. Now, my car doesn't really need it, but if you go for it (which I believe will cost you a grand or so) please take plenty of before and after pictures because what I have seen so far on the 'net looks to be absolutely astounding, but I don't believe anything I read on the 'net.:cool:

Small particles with sharp edges at high velocity? I don't see the difference between it and sand and walnut chips. Nowhere near my wiring harness. Hard surfaces perhaps can be "managed" by distance. The video I looked up showed a very rusty bolt being cleaned down to shiny metal. I'd not be inclined to try to use it on paint unless I wanted to strip it.

(I'd considered getting one to blast the calcium buildup off the pool. The CO2 leaves no residue like glass beads and as it evaporates reacts with water to form carbonic acid which lowers pH. Machine is medium price but the dry ice is hard to find.)

Used on Airplanes to clean aluminum. cleans without damage to metal. Restores to original finish on metals. No first hand knowledge on other products like urethane or rubber.

I watched a video where they were using this to clean the undercarriage of a car. It's very impressive and I can see why you are interested.
