I just posted on AGO, regarding Meghan`s post about dry ice detailing. Paul Dalton`s video is the first video I watched that showed dry ice detailing. Where/how does the dirt and grime from under the hood escape to? Seems like Magic

My questions are can it be used on paint or interiors and if so how will it affect it in the long run

To learn more about this process, please see this website:
Dry Ice Blasting & HRSG Cleaning, Surface Preparation, Environmentally Sustainable Cleaning- Precision Iceblast Corporation

They are a service company that cleans mainly industrial equipment and NOT a dry ice cleaning machine manufacturer.
They are located in Peshtigo, Wisconsin in the Northeastern part of Wisconsin.

The BIG advantage in using dry ice: no water is used (compared to steam cleaning) so you do not endanger electrical components to shorts caused by moisture OR induce rust or oxidation on iron/steel or aluminum/magnesium/titanium parts, respectively, by left-behind water residue. I can see why this may be a good choice for degreasing/cleaning engine compartments/bays in vehicles. Ask anyone who has had that unfortunate experience in replacing an engine CPU/control module or electrical relay after "cleaning" an engine OR trying to remove the white "bloom" from galleys/nooks-n-crannies in a cast aluminum intake manifold using traditional soap-n-water cleaning methods.

That looks cool!

Wow looks very cool and very interesting. From the comments from Paul on the video it looks like it does not leave anything behind and evaporates into the air. Makes sense. Looks like you can use it on any part of the vehicle as well without issue.

I think the dirt and grime gets trapped in the dry ice vapours and then magically evaporates into the air. On the next fool Penn and Teller! lol

Just checked out the Polarjet site which is the machine that Paul is using the video. Cars, Motorcycles and Bicycles - Polarjet - Swiss Eco Cleaning System
Good lord - starts at EUR 6,900

eh, one or two of Dalton`s details and he has it paid off

Lol that`s probably very true.

Anybody ever have a non-magical answer to where the dirt goes? I can`t help but think that it just goes somewhere else...somewhere that will then need to be cleaned unless "out of sight, out of mind!" is good enough for ya.

No, no...not hating on it at all! That would be a great way to quick-clean something like (the front surfaces of) wheels, assuming it doesn`t strip LSP. Don`t see how it`d work for a *real* cleanup though, for something like wheels you`d still have to get in there to do the backsides of the spokes/etc. But, but.. where does all the dirt end up? On the surrounding areas?

If there is a company that wants me to use that, I`ll be happy to do that!

I had no idea there was such a contraption!!!

I just watched multiple videos of this being done on You Tube.
