Cryogenic Dry Ice Cleaning

What is Cryogenic Dry Ice Cleaning?

Cryogenic dry ice cleaning is a non-abrasive, chemical-free process that uses compressed air and solid CO₂ pellets to safely remove dirt, grease, and buildup.

It cleans deeply without damaging paint, plastics, or other delicate surfaces.

Non-Abrasive Cleaning

Dry ice cleaning is gentle on surfaces, ensuring that paint, chrome, and other delicate parts of your vehicle are not damaged during the cleaning process. This feature makes it ideal for preserving the finish of high-end and classic cars.

Effective on Tough Contaminants

Dry ice cleaning effectively removes stubborn contaminants such as grease, oil, tar, and road grime from various surfaces of your vehicle. This makes it highly efficient for both exterior and interior cleaning, as well as engine and underbody cleaning.

Chemical-Free Process

The cleaning method uses no chemicals or solvents, making it an eco-friendly option that is safe for both the user and the environment. This reduces the risk of chemical residues and hazardous waste.

Reduces Downtime

The dry ice cleaning process is quick and efficient, significantly reducing the time needed for thorough vehicle detailing. This allows for faster turnaround times, getting your vehicle back on the road sooner.

Residue-Free

As the dry ice sublimates upon impact, it leaves no secondary waste or residues behind. This ensures a spotless finish and eliminates the need for additional cleanup.
