After watching and reading up articles like https://www.hagerty.com/media/maintenan ... ercoating/ I'm surprised that I couldn't find any detailer here in the UK who provides dry ice detailing. Seems like the the best way to do an underside and engine bay refresh and more.
Does anyone know if this is available at all in the UK?

I've seen generic dry ice cleaning companies but none tailored for cars. It's pretty cool not sure how cost effective though.twenty wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 9:09 pmAfter watching and reading up articles like https://www.hagerty.com/media/maintenan ... ercoating/ I'm surprised that I couldn't find any detailer here in the UK who provides dry ice detailing.

I had a look at the dry ice machines - cost anything between a couple of grand to 18, so there's some upfront cost involved. Plus not sure how much the CO2 pellets cost on top.onthames wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 9:12 pmI've seen generic dry ice cleaning companies but none tailored for cars.

Might be ok in California but removing all that wax from the underside and leaving it as is would soon start (more) corrosion over here

In one of their Porsche restoration video they show how blasting can be finely tuned not to remove cosmoline - which is the original yellow factory underseal right?
Apparently it's fine tunable to a degree where you can remove the ink from a business card without harming the card itself.
