That looks incredible. What happens after? Do you need to coat certain metals with an anticorrosive?

I've dabbled in all the recent dry ice youtube content, but never paid close enough attention to know what the best practices are for maintaining all that work.

Most of what we do is collector cars that will never see rain or snow so they aren't worried about coating them after. No one coats a restored car or a singer after the build!!

On cars that are driven we are working on a coating to seal everything in once clean. We have tried a coupe different ones but havent found anything we really want to put our name behind yet!

Default dry ice

Dry ice cleaning works magic. This 911 looks outstanding. I've been looking for a company to spiff up my 53K mile 911.
I sent an email to this company via THEIR website 2 days ago.........and sadly no reply

That looks fantastic.
We have purchased a 993C4S recently that was fully dry ice cleaned.
Having several other personal vehicles and a ton of time on my hands, I'd love to purchase the necessary equipment to do this myself.
If you have a preferred equipment vendor, please advise.

the machine and air system needed to run my setup is very large and not something you would probably do at your house. There are smaller machines out there but you won’t have the full capacity that I do, I know one is https://www.obsessedgarage.com/produ...leaning-system

or you can send us the car for the service. If you have any questions give us a call at 610-431-8459 thanks
