Our local PCA magazine has advertisements in it from a local Porsche shop that also does Cryo Detailing for under carriages, engine bays etc, which will supposedly remove the harshest debris, yet wont destroy soft rubber or electrical components.
I must say that the before and after pictures look VERY impressive, does anyone have any experience with this ?
TIA

Any links to the shop that offers these services? Never heard of Cryo Detailing, are they using liquid nitrogen and if yes how?

Interesting, it looks like a high pressure steamer or maybe a pressure washer on steroids! The reason I say water is because it's accumulating on their visors. Would love to learn more, this could be a classic car guys dream come true!

If ice particles are used as the blasting media, then it is abrasive to some extent. Even water is...ask any float plane pilot how his prop is doing. I don't even use a pressure washer on my cars/motorcycles.
Cleaning the underside and getting the Cosmoline off is a one-time affair. Want to join the club...do the time.

Dont stick the pressure washer nozzle right up to the paint and you're fine. The pressure is significantly reduced only a couple feet from the nozzle. Theres no issue with using a pressure washer to wash cars as long as the psi is correct.

Is it actually accelerating solid pieces of dry ice into the parts? I agree that this could be highly abrasive to certain components such as plastics and plated parts if it is really blasting with solid dry ice.
I personally have always maintained the opinion that there are no shortcuts to producing good results without damaging parts. While chemicals and abrasives can speed up the process they bring with them the possibility to either change the appearance of a part or possibly damage it.
My approach while time consuming has never failed to produce good results. But if you're not planning on keeping the car forever the labor approach may not make sense. YMMV

My concern would be the temp decrease on metal surfaces. It looks like a neat process, but more research on my end before we bring it to our shop.
