Dry ice blasting for classic vehicles
Grimy chassis, seized engine, corroded parts: dry ice blasting restores your classic vehicles with surgical precision, without abrasion, without solvent. Original surfaces are preserved, patina respected, details intact.
Before / after dry ice blasting


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.
