Has anyone used, knows anything about dry ice for cleaning engine, transmission or suspension?

Ray. One of the guys is doing it here in Australia with excellent results - not cheap though. Can cut dirt and grease as well as overspray or paint layer by layer (depending on preparation when it was applied) back to factory finish. There are a couple of threads on the Australian typ901 board but unless you are a member you won't be able to see the pictures which are truely impressive

Thanks Hugh,

I am looking at a place close to me, in San Diego..Cryo-Werks
About $250.00 an hour. Like you said, not cheap. However, INCREDIBLE results, without the mess of chemicals and shop rags, or a pressure washer.

Another place, opposite side of US.

Vapour blasting would be as good and cheaper.

I think dry ice is better. I has the effect that when it hits the surface it "explodes" (sublimation from solid to gas and thus expanding it's volume).
Another effect is that to remove e.g. Wax it cools down the surface making stuff more brittle.

I know the guys running cryo-Werks and they definitely get it. Nice guys, they do good work and great attention to detail. They really know these cars. I can't help but think they will be very busy.
