What sets Larry apart from other detailers is that he has grown up and acknowledges that all these cleaning processes we love to work with, are at the end of the day, toxic and can be harmful. Playing it cool cat, with no gloves to apply coatings, using dry ice like it’s just water is plain irresponsible. When you want legit pro information Larry is the guy for sure.

An air conditioned wash bay with Swiss tracks would be perfect. When you open the bays it’ll exhaust to atmosphere. And just hose down debris from underneath the Swiss tracks.

My company uses this process on an industrial scale. Be careful with this process in an enclosed (or even partially enclosed) area. The possibility of diluting the oxygen in such an area to a dangerously low level with the off-gassed CO2 from the sublimed dry ice is real.

I watched an episode where a weed grow room in an attic had molded all the wood in it due to all the moisture from the plants. Not only did the dry ice get rid of the mold and mildew...but it practically micro-sanded the wood as it cleaned, so the whole attic looked and smelled like brand new lumber!!!

Hey Larry! Question for you: I’ve applied a single coat of Reflex Pro to my car (looks like a dream). I didn’t apply a second coat but continued with my routine washes and adding Ammo Skin bi-weekly. Can I apply a second coat on top of the skin or would I need to remove this with the alcohol solution? I have also bought some Chemical Guys Ceramic Car Shampoo. It’s supposed to add protection but I plan to use this as a maintenance and not moving from my reflex pro. Have you heard of products like this to “rejuvenate” ceramic coatings?

[@ogboost7610]

So for an person who is efficient at dry ice blasting. Can an accurate time be given for how long it takes to clean an LS engine? Most places I’ve seen charge by the hour. After enough time cleaning certain engine blocks like an LS engine, SBC or Honda D,B,K engines the cleaning business should be able to give a flat rate charge for known items. Then maybe add time if the item has super caked on grease and dirt that I like to call frosting or peanut butter. Customer should give it a quick decrease and spray down before dry ice blasting.

[@brucebrowne5022]

Very impressive, but is it wise to use this technique on an old engine when the owners won't agree to a teardown and seal replacement? I can just imagine oil oozing right out of that crankcase seal when the engine runs again...

[@LionWriter1012]

Good to hear you factored in your neighbors and the noise factor since you’re cheaper in a residential area. Just wondering what else you do to ensure your work don’t disturb your neighbors- I know I’d be wary of the chemicals and runoff water and fumes if a detailing business moved in next door to me.

[@HypocriticYT]

I wish I knew of this method earlier. My 2002 Camaro SS I cleaned the engine twice years ago. Later my knock sensors failed. They had rusted. The intake on the LS1 looks like it seals but there are gaps that allow water under the intake.

[@harrybenx3554]

It is an impressive technique and the result is stunning. However, how and where do you collect all the oil and dirt you blow away by ice? It can't just be blown into the air or in the next neighbor's garden.

[@townsendliving9750]

I want something like this, I have an engine shop, wife runs a detail business, I have a dustless blast machine, glassbead cabinet, and spray cabinet, a dip tank. All have thier uses. Fyi I think this engine would have been better off being rebuilt, but I dont fully understand the situation. Most likely when placed back in the vehicle the engine will leak oil and antifreeze. But even while disassembled the dry oce blaster could be used for multiple parts that other methods lack on. Mostly you dont want any type of media to end up in the finished product. This think is throwing around frozen grease/dirt pellets that may or not have ended up in the oil afterwards. Where I think thos shines is while the engine is still in the vehicle.
