So what does Dry Ice do?

Dry Ice comes in the form of either gas with liquid to pellet machines, to ice pellets. Combined with a machine designed to be used with it and compressed air, dry ice pellets blast the surface with minus 80 degrees ice particles, freezing dirt and grime on the surface and breaking it down to then drop from the surface, leaving a clean finish without any chemicals, water whilst being 100% non abrasive.

Where would I see the benefits of Dry Ice Cleaning?

Most commonly, in the automotive industry, Dry Ice Cleaning is most commonly used for cleaning undercarriages, arches and engine bays. Wether it's for a more simple and effective way of cleaning an engine bay without the use of water possibly affecting the electronics and any filters, to cleaning worn, dirty underseal from the undercarriage to freshen it up ready for a fresh layer of underseal which we offer at Podium Detailing.

Will Dry Ice Cleaning remove rust?

A regular question we get at Podium Detailing is will Dry Ice Cleaning remove rust, unfortunately dry ice isn't a going to reverse the effects of corrosion. Any rust, or compromised finishes, for example cracked and chipped painted brake calipers, like a pressure washer with a stone chip, if you clean with dry ice with compressed air, there is always a possibility that the painted finish could flake off as it is forcing a high volume of air between the crack of compromised paint.
