Will dry ice strip factory undercoating?

No, when applied with the correct pressure. We dial pressure and pellet size to lift surface contamination without removing factory coatings. We always test on a hidden area first.

Can I leave my collector car overnight?

Yes, in our Kalispell shop or your facility. We carry garagekeepers coverage.

Will it harm rubber or seals?

Dry ice cools surfaces locally during the blast. We don't dwell on rubber, and we let the surface return to ambient before re-handling. We've cleaned thousands of rubber-bushed suspension assemblies without damage.

Do you do retail detailing?

No. We're a B2B partner for shops, dealers, and serious collectors. We refer retail work to local detailers.

Engine bay cleaning — how clean does it get?

Results vary by contaminant and substrate; we confirm expectations with a test patch. The process adds no process water into connectors or harnesses, and labels and paint markings are generally preserved where the test patch supports it.

Can you do partial scopes?

Yes — undercarriage only, engine bay only, or suspension only. We bid by the scope.

Do you ship completed photos?

Yes. Every job gets a photo set you can use for your sales listing or restoration record.

How far will you travel for collector work?

Across the Mountain West and into Alberta for full-day or multi-day jobs. Smaller jobs we batch onto regional route days.

Why Dry Ice Works Here

Technical, not marketing

We work with restoration shops, dealers, auction houses, and serious collectors. We don't take retail detail work — we're a B2B specialty partner. Our value is on the surfaces a detail shop won't touch: factory undercoating that needs to stay intact, engine bays where water cannot go, suspension components covered in 60 years of road grease, and show-prep where graphic decals and paint must be perfectly preserved.

Typical scopes: pre-sale recon for dealers (engine bay and undercarriage), pre-judging concours prep, restoration shop teardown cleanup, and barn-find evaluation cleaning. We work in your shop or ours.

Pricing is by-the-vehicle for one-offs and by-the-day for restoration shops with steady throughput.
