About This Service
What is Automotive Restoration?
Automotive dry ice blasting is the preferred method for professional restorers and classic car enthusiasts. Unlike traditional sandblasting or chemical stripping, dry ice blasting safely removes decades of undercoating, grease, oil, and road grime without warping thin metal panels or damaging original components.
Our process uses solid CO2 pellets accelerated at supersonic speeds. When the pellets impact the surface, they sublimate instantly, lifting contaminants away through thermal shock and kinetic energy. The result is a perfectly clean surface ready for inspection, repair, or coating - with no secondary waste to clean up.
Whether you're restoring a numbers-matching classic, preparing a project car, or maintaining a show vehicle, our automotive dry ice blasting service delivers superior results while preserving the integrity of your investment.
Key Benefits
Non-Abrasive Cleaning
Preserves original metal thickness and factory stampings. Safe for thin panels, spot welds, and delicate components.
Complete Undercoating Removal
Removes factory undercoating, aftermarket coatings, and sound deadener completely - revealing hidden rust or damage.
No Warping or Damage
Cold process eliminates heat distortion that comes with chemical strippers or abrasive blasting.
Environmentally Safe
No chemicals, no water, no secondary waste. The dry ice simply evaporates, leaving only the removed contaminants.
