Use Of Dry Ice In Car Cleaning

Dry ice blasting is an effective particle blasting method for removing stubborn dirt layers from various substrates. Dry ice cleaning has also been proven in car workshops or repair shops, especially on complex and sensitive surfaces – from car upholstery cleaning to engine compartment cleaning and restoration of classic cars.

Why use dry ice in workshops?

Cleaning dirty parts of machines, tools and equipment is usually a difficult and tedious affair. This is because processes such as sandblasting leave spray agents such as sand and glass granules roaming freely in the air.

In this context, dry ice has a number of advantages for workshops and service stations. Primarily, dry ice can be used on surfaces that prohibit water. This is especially true for sensitive electronics or when working on expensive vintage car bodies. It prevents potential damage to such electronics caused by water cleaning, protects parts from caustic chemicals, protects mechanical tools, and removes stubborn deposits without leaving any residue.

Advantages of Dry Ice Blasting

Since dry ice blasters work without chemicals, there is no need to dispose of wastewater; There is no spray residue. Even sensitive surfaces can be cleaned with little effort.

No Residue: After using dry ice, there is no need to dispose of wastewater, chemicals, or spray residue. Only the dissolved substances remain. Depending on the quantity and composition, these substances are either blown with available compressed air or cleaned with vacuum cleaners.
Cleaning without preparatory work: Vehicle parts don’t require to be disassembled before cleaning as dry Ice pellets can easily reach the smallest corners.
Time-Saving: Vehicle owners need not wait for long hours due to its’ quick and effective cleaning technology.

Environment friendly: Dry ice cleaning is without additional chemicals or spray agents. The process is made of reclaimed CO2 that is collected and recycled from other industrial processes.
