Automotive Dry Ice Blasting
From classic car restorations to dealership inventory prep — we strip away decades of grease, grime, undercoating, and carbon buildup without chemicals, water, or surface damage. The body shop's cleaning method, not the detailer's.
Why Dry Ice Blasting for Vehicles?
Traditional cleaning methods force you to choose between effectiveness and safety. Pressure washing risks water damage to electrical systems. Chemical degreasers are toxic, messy, and leave residue. Wire wheels and sandblasting are abrasive and can damage delicate surfaces.
Dry ice blasting eliminates those tradeoffs. It's aggressive enough to strip decades of baked-on grease and undercoating, yet gentle enough to use on painted surfaces, rubber seals, wiring harnesses, and chrome trim. No water means no risk to electronics. No chemicals means no cleanup. No abrasion means no surface damage.
As a division of Frankman Motor Company — operating out of Frankman Auto Body & Kustom Shop — we bring body shop-level expertise to every job. We understand how vehicles are built, which surfaces can handle what, and how to get results without creating new problems.
Automotive Applications
Engine Bay Cleaning
Remove decades of grease, oil residue, and grime from engine bays without risking water damage to electrical components. Dry ice blasting gets into every crevice — valve covers, wiring harnesses, brackets, and bolt heads come out looking factory-fresh.
Undercarriage & Frame Cleaning
Strip undercoating, road grime, salt corrosion, and rust from frames, suspension components, crossmembers, and axles. Essential for restorations, pre-purchase inspections, and rust prevention.
Classic Car Restoration
The preferred cleaning method for classic car restorers. Dry ice blasting removes old paint, body filler residue, seam sealer, and undercoating without warping panels or damaging sheet metal. Reveals the true condition of the metal underneath.
Suspension & Drivetrain Components
Clean control arms, sway bars, steering components, transmission cases, and differential housings. Strip old grease and buildup so you can inspect, refinish, or reassemble with confidence.
Wheel Wells & Fender Liners
Remove packed-in road debris, rubberized undercoating, and years of crud from wheel wells. Prep surfaces for fresh undercoating or bedliner applications.
Dealership Inventory Prep
Get trade-ins and auction vehicles front-line ready faster. Dry ice blasting cleans engine bays, undercarriages, and hard-to-reach areas that traditional detailing can't touch — adding real value to your used inventory.
