What is the cost of this on an hourly basis? I have an almost 80,000 mile (not typo) Shelby GT350 that I would like to restore. It has been kept outside last 2 years and have been driven year around including snow and salt, so there is quite a bit of rust.

Send me a PM or an e-mail and we can figure something out. I cleaned a GT350R last month that had 10k on it, so I have a good idea of the car itself. Would just need to see some of the specific wear to get an idea of how long it would be to clean everything really well. The dry ice can't remove rust, the ice is too soft to penetrate any of the metal surfaces. It can remove the loose part of surface rust so you can treat the surface afterwards with a rust preventative.
The biggest benefit to your situation would be to remove the dirt and grime that allows everything else to build up easily. If you get the surface clean, the buildup will be a lot slower, and the cleanup will also be a lot easier.

Thanks, I will PM you. The rust is mainly on suspension components like control arms and coils. The frame of the car is clean of rust. Exhaust rust is also not a big deal as I have an unused brand new exhaust sitting in a box (I told myself I would install it at 100,000 miles). I sprayed my car that water repellant wax thing (I forgot what it was called). And while that did prevent rust, it turned into a massive dust and grime magnet. So my undercarriage is coated with dark oily grime.
I have a few customers that use Dry Ice cleaning as a way of getting a car that is new to them back into showroom new condition, regardless of mileage.
Here are a few pictures from a low mileage GT3 that I did recently. All plastics including the fender liners and underbody panels were removed in order to clean every inch of the underbody and all crevices. It was absolutely showroom fresh when it was finished.
Let me know if you have any specific questions about the process and how it would relate to your GT3.
Finished with the wheel wells. And removed the plastic liners and did behind as well. This is gonna be best money I ever spent on a car knowing she is as new as she can get while still having 22k miles on the clock.
