    Anybody use dry ice to detail undercarriage, engine, etc? Was just curious what some of the pros / cons are? What type of equipment has anyone had experience with?

    Hi Glenn - My detailer had a company use the technique on friend's 328 that he recently purchased and is preparing for Cavallino. The result was impressive and effective without any residual waste. The only issue was some removal of undercoating. If I remember the cost was between $1,500 to $2,000. You will see the car at Cavallino.

    Regards

    Works great. I have been very impressed. Can really clean an engine bay with no damage to cad and zinc plating, electronics or exposed bearings like belt tensioner bearings. Soap, chemical and steam cannot make that claim.

    People using it for intake carbon removal too. However, in my hands using walnut shell is fast easy and clean because you can suck the inside of a port but you can't do that on an undercarriage or engine bay. So walnut shell would make a mess on an undercarriage or engine bay. Do concourse guys clean undercarriages?
