Default Andreas.. you've met your match!

I randomly stumbled on this video on Youtube.... has anyone done this? Looks like the results are pretty impressive!

Not bad for a preliminary cleaning.

I want to do my car with it!

They did the engine with the exhaust removed?

I didn't watch evey minute of the video so if they explained that the engine is being removed and torn down... then cool.
Otherwise, yikes.

Interesting process though...

Possibly dry ice. Just my guess.

That caught my eye.

As long as it is their car and not mine.

I'd be a little concerned about the effect that cold air had on my rubber bits.

It's a cool process like media blasting with dry ice. There is no residue as the dry ice sublimates at room temperature.

Looks interesting; any idea of the cost for doing this?

Interesting how all the gunk disappeared but the stickers remained in place. Looks cool though
