Specialist vehicle dry ice blasting
available in New Zealand
Underbody
Dry ice blasting is the most effective way of restoring the originality of your vehicle, without abrasion, water, chemicals or significant disassembly required.
The cleaning power of dry ice lifts decades of grease, road grime and contaminants but is soft on painted surfaces.
This is the absolute best method of removing aged cosmoline wax to bring your vehicle back to a near-production line finish.
Fast, abrasion-free cleaning
The inert nature of dry ice is ideal for automotive and machinery as it meticulously cleans surfaces without abrasion.
It is powerful enough to blast the most stubborn contaminants or residues built up over decades, but delicate enough to retain the originality of the vehicle’s painted surfaces beneath.
Engine, gearbox
+ more
Dry ice blasting is safe to use on mechanical components, even engine internals while in the vehicle. External surfaces like aluminum, steel, zinc plated and powder-coated surfaces are all restored to original.
Internally, dry ice blasting is perfect for decarbonising without nominal disassembly (it is a much less labour-intensive method of cleaning modern Direct Injection engines) and reviving varnished components due to oil contamination.
It can also be used on gearbox internals including bearings with no fear of damage to hardened surfaces or the introduction of foreign particles.
Zero abrasion.
Zero moisture.
Zero residue.
Dry ice is soft with no hard edges like sand, grit or glass meaning it won’t etch, abrade or erode the surface.
Because dry ice is frozen CO2, that sublimates to a gas on impact, there is no moisture.
No abrasive material is used. CO2 evaporates leaving zero trace elements and is safe to use around moving parts, seals and friction surfaces.
Wheels, brakes, manifolds + more
Dry ice blasting is perfect for fast and effective removal of brake dust and road grime built up over years.
Wheels will come up like new without stripping the original powder coating or any risk of scratching from harsh scrubbing.
It will not compromise your brake friction surfaces so can restore discoloured brake calipers on the vehicle. Removing decades of contaminants from even the smallest nook in seconds.
Powder coated or alluminium suspension components are cleaned as if they were fresh off the production line, without compromising bushes or geometry from removal.
Cryotechnic can clean the components on or off the vehicle.
