Automotive dry ice blasting and preservation, done properly.
IceBlastPro is an Oxfordshire specialist in automotive dry ice blasting, rust treatment and underbody preservation for classic, performance and prestige cars across the UK.
From inspection to protection
We don’t just clean what you can already see. We inspect the underside, remove contamination with automotive dry ice blasting, treat corrosion where needed, and protect the vehicle with the right underbody preservation programme.
Modern to iconic
Built around long-term preservation
From modern performance cars to significant classics, our programmes are designed for owners who want to understand the condition properly, address it properly and preserve the car for the years ahead.

First, we reveal what’s really underneath.
Before any vehicle is treated or protected, the underside needs to be cleaned properly. We use automotive dry ice blasting and targeted laser cleaning to remove contamination, expose corrosion and give us a clearer view of the areas most owners never see.
Dry ice blastingA dry, non-abrasive way to clean vehicle undersides, removing oil, grime, loose underseal and surface contamination before inspection and protection.Oil, dirt & contaminationProtection needs a properly prepared surface. We clean away oil, grease, road grime and contamination before any corrosion treatment or protective coating is applied.Underseal removalFailed, cracked or lifting underseal can hide what is happening underneath. Where necessary, we remove it to expose the metal and assess the condition before rebuilding the protection system.Laser cleaningControlled surface cleaning for oxidation, deeper corrosion and stubborn marks, helping prepare affected metal before rust treatment and protection.Localised repairs & weldingIf cleaning reveals weakened or perforated metal, we don't simply cover it. Localised repairs can be carried out before the preservation process continues.Rust treatment & corrosion protectionOnce corrosion has been properly exposed and prepared, affected areas are stabilised and treated before protection is applied. The aim is to deal with the corrosion first, then protect the underlying metal against moisture, salt and future deterioration.

REVEAL THE CONDITION. CORRECT WHAT'S NEEDED. THEN PROTECT IT PROPERLY.
What good preservation looks like.
A complete preservation programmeIn five stages
Inside the unit – classic and performance cars up on the ramps, with the workshop set up for inspection, dry ice blasting and underbody preservation.
01
Inspect
Before any tool is lifted, the underbody is assessed in detail. Test patches reveal what’s beneath the surface – so we know exactly what we’re working with.
Pre-work assessment

Condition review
02
Clean
Dry ice and laser cleaning lift contamination, oil and failing coatings without water or abrasion. The car’s original surfaces are revealed, undamaged.

03
Treat
Corrosion is chemically stabilised. Weak metal is repaired or welded where required. Paint touch-ins happen here too – whatever the car needs to be sound again before protection begins.

Protect
Only once the underlying work is done do the protection systems go on – matched to the vehicle, applied properly, and given the time to cure.

Document
Every stage is photographed and recorded. You collect the car with a treatment report and visual evidence of what was done – and what’s been preserved.
In this Shelby GT500 preservation project, we dry ice blasted the underside to remove contamination, failing coatings and loose corrosion. Once the original surfaces were visible, we assessed the suspension, rear axle, leaf springs, wheel arches and chassis areas before carrying out rust treatment and long-term underbody protection.

I have recently used IceBlastPro for the second time! Again, the results were astounding! The service is second to none, great communication, great images/videos provided of the process, before, during and after. For anyone thinking of having their pride and joy meticulously treated, IceBlastPro are the ones to trust! I can’t thank Nail, Steph, Neil and the rest of the team enough.

Just want to thank the team at IceBlastPro. They did a wonderful job on my Land Rover Defender. The underneath, inside the chassis, wheel arches and engine bay were all done and finished to a high standard. In fact it was so clean and looking new, we commented that “we could eat our dinner off the underneath”. Worth every penny, highly recommended and very professional.

Massive thanks to Neil and the whole team of true petrolheads at IceBlastPro for giving my classic car the full treatment of clean, rust treatment and sealant for the underside, engine and wheel arches, protecting it for years ahead. Excellent service with loads of pictures and videos of the process, which is critical for classic ownership. Highly recommended.

The whole team were incredibly friendly and the communication was excellent throughout, with verbal progress and photo updates. The end result was amazing, and now I feel I can use the car in all weathers if I go travelling and not worry about it, as the underside is protected. It’s a great investment in your pride and joy and I highly recommend IceBlastPro.

Neil and his team were excellent and very informative throughout the process, with photos and videos through each step of the way, and when minor issues were found on the car I was informed straight away with options/solutions for repair. I seriously can’t fault the commitment and service this team gives you. I would recommend anyone wanting to get their underbody dry ice blasted and sealed properly – this is the company to go to.

Recent Preservation Work
Before-and-after examples showing corrosion removal, treatment, and long-term rust protection across a range of vehicles, from daily drivers to high-value cars.
No water. No abrasion. No chemicals – just solid CO₂ at −79°C that thermal-shocks contamination off the metal and sublimates away on impact, lifting decades of underseal, salt and grime without touching the substrate beneath.
No media. No chemicals. A pulsed fibre laser is absorbed by rust and reflected by sound steel – so it ablates pitted corrosion off seams, edges and fasteners that blasting can’t reach, leaving the metal underneath untouched.
Most cars come to us a year or two after another treatment that fell short of the standard the car needed. This is what we do differently.
Borescope inspection inside a closed cavity – we confirm the wax is reaching where it’s needed instead of filling blind.
01
Pure Dry Ice
No water. No chemicals. No abrasion. Contamination lifts away on impact, leaving the substrate untouched and bone dry – the foundation everything else depends on.
02
Multi-Stage Rust Treatment
Surface rust removed. Deeper corrosion stabilised, neutralised and encapsulated at source. Never sealed over. Sealing rust just hides it, it doesn’t stop it.
03
Borescope Cavities
We look inside cavities before injecting wax, so we know it’s reaching where it’s needed. Most workshops inject blind. We inspect first, document, then fill properly.
04
Substrate Prep Before Sealing
Sealants only work on a properly prepared surface. Cleaned, dried, primed, neutralised. Skip this step and the sealant fails in two years. That’s why so many cars come to us.
05
Vehicle Wrapped Throughout
Seat covers, floor covers, panel protection. The car is wrapped before any work begins and stays protected through every stage. Your car comes back exactly how it arrived.
06
Anti-Seize & New Clips
Anti-seize on every reinstalled bolt. Broken plastic clips replaced as standard. Reassembly held by new hardware, not what was already failing.
07
2-Bucket Wash, Blow Dry
Final detail done right. pH-neutral solutions, two-bucket method, blow-dried not towel-dried. The same standard you’d expect from a top concours detailer applied to every job.
08
Treatment Document, Forever
Photo, video, products used, application zones, dates. A printed record stays with the vehicle for the next owner, the next workshop, the next decade.
09
Time & Access
We take wheel arch liners and trays off where needed to reach hidden areas. Hours of inspection and blasting per vehicle. Thoroughly, not superficially.
10
High-Spec Machinery
We use leading dry ice blasting technology, specialist equipment and high-capacity compressors, representing an investment of over £100,000. This gives us controlled pressure delivery, consistent media flow and the precision needed for complex underbody, wheel arch and engine bay assemblies.
