Why dry ice blasting for classic vehicles?

The technique that respects your vehicle's authenticity

Zero abrasion on metals

Unlike sandblasting which tears away material, dry ice does not scratch and does not alter dimensions. Original parts retain their exact condition after cleaning.

Precision on original details

Mouldings, inscriptions, factory stamps, serial numbers: everything is preserved. The nozzle is adjusted to each area for cleaning that never touches original details.

Compatible with fragile materials

Rubber, seals, period plastics, fabrics and coverings are spared. No chemical product attacks materials weakened by time.

Preparation before restoration

After dry ice blasting, surfaces are perfectly clean and dry, ready for anti-corrosion treatment, primer and restoration paint.

Classic vehicle cleaning

Pressure must be carefully adjusted for painted areas. On zones with original paint, we use very low pressure to clean only the dirt without touching the paint. A test is always performed on a discreet area beforehand.
