Anyone tried this out, had a customer ask me about it today, did some research on it and its amazing to watch.
Been out for awhile but I really don't think I have heard anyone talk about it except for a few posts on the forum.
But wasn't sure if it really worked as amazing as the videos show?
 
Never have tried this detailing method;
but, it's got to be pretty freakin' cool...

Absolute(ly) zero talk about this.

I do recall stumbling across a video on YouTube with someone cleaning a car with a very expensive dry ice machine.

That's notorious with gtr paint.Tried it I think its overkill.
 
It's a clever use of physics but outside of doing an engine bay for a "dry" clean I don't see what the advantage is and I would think propelling miniscule bits of ice at very low temperature is more likely to harm paint than clean it.

But then again it's been over a decade since I saw the inside of a thermodynamics classroom.

Blowing dry ice air on aluminum, works..not sure how'd it work on paint/clear
 
I went to their website, the cheapest unit is $8,095. Then they apparently want you to order the dry ice pellets from them, which could get pricy coming from Switzerland. Looks like fun though.

I feel like this would be one of those things that would be highly dependent on the vehicle in question and not something I'd particularly want to be the guinea pig for.
 
I work at a car factory and they use dry ice blasting on some of the industrial machines. It's messy. Where do you think the dirt goes? All over the place. I wouldn't use this anywhere near my car. It's still abrasive, even though they make it sound safe for delicate work.
 
I priced it out..I couldn't afford it even if i took out an SBA loan lol.
Let alone the air compressor that needs 185cfm .
The dry ice pallets are expensive too
 
8k for a machine!!! I don't Detail that many engine bays sorry lmao
