Our Approach:

tick image

Automotive-Focused Expertise

We work solely on vehicles. From classics to modern performance cars, our experience allows us to assess each car individually and tailor the approach based on its condition, history, and intended use.

tick image

Condition-Led Preservation

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all process, we inspect first, test where needed, and only carry out work that is appropriate for the vehicle. While our packages provide a clear framework, the goal is always preservation - not unnecessary intervention.

tick image

Selective Cleaning & Protection

Dry ice blasting is used carefully to remove contamination, loose corrosion, and underseal without damaging underlying surfaces. Where required, we then apply targeted protection treatments to stabilise and preserve the vehicle long-term.

tick image

Documentation & Transparency

Every vehicle is documented using our digital photo and video system, with customers receiving a treatment plan that records the work completed and provides guidance on future preservation and maintenance.

tick image

Process & Suitability

Dry ice blasting is a controlled, low-impact cleaning method that uses no water and introduces no cleaning chemicals during the cleaning stage. It is fundamentally different from pressure washing or steam cleaning, relying instead on thermal shock to lift contamination without saturating the vehicle. While significantly less aggressive than abrasive blasting, it is far more effective than washing methods and leaves no moisture or media behind – making it well suited to preservation-focused work on sensitive areas.

What is Dry Ice Blasting?

What is Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive surface treatment process that uses solid CO₂ (carbon dioxide) pellets accelerated in compressed air. On impact, the pellets sublimate – turning directly from solid to gas – which helps lift contamination from the surface without introducing moisture, abrasive media, or secondary residue.

This makes the process well suited to automotive preservation work, particularly in sensitive areas such as engine bays, underbodies, wheel arches, and complex assemblies where traditional cleaning or abrasive methods would be inappropriate.

How Does Dry Ice Blasting Work?

Dry ice pellets are accelerated in a controlled stream of compressed air and directed at the surface being treated. The pellets are extremely cold (approximately –78°C), and on impact they undergo rapid sublimation, creating thermal shock that helps break the bond between contaminants and the surface.

Unlike abrasive blasting, the process does not erode the underlying material. And because the dry ice converts directly to gas, no moisture or secondary media is left behind – reducing the need for extensive strip-down and making the process well suited to preservation-focused automotive work.
