Dry Ice Cleaning Abandoned Ferrari 512BBi after 12 Years Sat Outside - Only 6420 Miles !

[@antipodeanwizard1632]

I can really appreciate how you're not taking any short cuts with this. Many would have stopped at the dry ice blasting, but the hard and time-consuming work you're putting in polishing the engine is really paying off. Very well done, Scott.

[@matthewlewis-zw3tf]

I would have completely disassembled the engine, cleaned it with sovent and properly rebuilt the engine, new seals, gaskets, etc.. The engine has been sitting so long that it needs a light rebuild anyway!!!! I think this was a waste of time and resources. I love the video and content though...❤😊

[@emanuell5926]

Ratarossa, you are a magician, hats off to you. Engine Block turned out after your treatment like new, beautiful, congrats. What a relaxing treat to watch and follow, thank you for that

Dry ice is the future for high end detailing cars. Karcher are knocking it out of the park. The engine looked amazing.

[@keironastbury9399]

you did a fantastic job on that engine it looks new from how I could see, that's going to make your project look factory new, so pleased for you, it turned out amazing and it's going to pay off for your hard work, can't wait to see you turn that key and all glory fires up ready to attack the streets of Britain. keep up the great work you deserve it.

[@starflyt1150]

With an ice blaster i would keep all the mechanical bits spotless on all my vehicles. Love the channel btw.

[@SPARKITSUPPORT]

Really impressed with Ice Blasting, never heard of it before. Need one of those to blast out the engine bay on my '72 VW T2 before it goes to paint. Sandblasting makes such a mess, especially when you're working from your own garage or driveway!

[@mrd4335]

You did the right thing Scott, it's not just the clean-up....The media blasting gets in the engine n destroys it, I know someone who killed a Triumph engine with it....!!

[@davidsabo7125]

Mad respect for the attention to detail brother! Much Love, Sabo🤙🤙👊👊💪💪👊👊🤙🤙

[@MrRamonfranca]

Awesome transformation to that Ferrari engine. I could spend days or weeks cleaning everything I could see with that machine. Awesome piece of kit 👌

[@DanDan-xx1yg]

Good work Scott, it was great seeing the BB progressing. The engine is starting to look amazing, can’t wait to see those heads painted up!! 👍

[@actuallypaulstanley]

Have watched a few 'Ice Blast' cleaning videos, but if I had one I would clean my car, and my neighbours just to see their faces from the transformation. The benefit of no additional residue is massive. Would clean the shared block drive and my garden paving slabs. The external plastered walls, my trainers, planters, garden fence panels. The ice supply would probably be the only thing to curb my enthusiasm...

[@dangriffiths9813]

The Mk1 Escort is coming along nicely in the background.

[@philmansfield5220]

If I won the pressure washer I’d use it for the garden, the patio and for washing the car. On a different note, I am really impressed with the dry ice blaster, whoever thought of it is ingenious. Keep up the great work Scott, really impressed with what you’ve done so far on the Boxer

[@christopherhamilton5557]

Wow I’ve never heard of this! Crazy! Satisfying to watch.

[@michiganborn8303]

I used to work with a company that manufacturers and sells dry ice and the dry ice blasting machines you're using in this video. Companies like Serv-Pro (which is a fire restoration company) used them a lot because there was never any secondary residue to clean up. The ice would simply evaporate from it frozen state of -109°F/-78°C which is why you need protection when working around it.

[@andreymoiseyev8521]

[@isaacbender8331]

I remember a couple years ago, I went to the store with my grandma and when we were leaving, there was a old Ferrari that was rotting ins someone's front yards being covered in tall grass. I really should ask my grandma if we can see the car again to see if someone bought it or not.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

My neighbour had a genuine MGB V8 rotting on his front drive. Anyone who knows these cars - they rotted BADLY. He refused numerous offers to sell it. I moved away and it was still there. Very sad.

[@uncommonlogic1698]

Glass beads in a blasting cabinet is the best results for cast aluminum and steel. Glass will not contaminate the surface , leaves original cast marks and takes little time to get "like new" castings. Dip the parts in paint stripper tank (I used crysilic acid ) rinse with water and blow dry, glass bead the parts and voila! Clear coat with matt-flat-gloss as needed and finish will be bright for years.

[@macman6107]

That's a great video especially for me seeing it after my wife (95% my wife did it due to my disabilities) and I spent about 3 hours cleaning the outside of our caravan with nothing more than a garden hose and sponges. We still need to do a lot more cleaning and we have only just started this evening looking at getting a Karcher pressure washer to finish the job off. So in a way it would be a gift to my wife but will also make it a lot easier for me to be able to help her a bit more than I could today. Talk about timing. As always I look forward to the next installment on what is my all time favourite Ferrari.

What would I use the ice blast on? Absolutely everything. Car, decking, paving, fence, garage door. I live on the coast so a special seagull poop attachment would be great 😊

[@MrMsjcooper]

Loving this BBI series, cant wait to hear the engine run. Would love to Ice clean my Porsche 996 alloys to remove the stubborn dirt/ stains on the inner barrels, also the engine is coming out at the end of the summer and has 17 years or grime to be removed!

@@PompeyMatt17 IIRC, only white one ever made with UK steering. Sadly, there's enough rust that the car will need repainting so the paint won't be 100% original - though if I recall correctly, there's some classic Ferrari weirdness involved here, which says that as long as the car been certified original *once*, you can repaint it and it'll still be "original" because the certification isn't recalled...

There is softer material that leaves it smooth

[@jimprojectgoldwing5536]

The engine in general wouldn't have had a smooth finish on it, as its cast in sand it would have a slight textured finish, and glass bead imitates it very well. I used to use glass bead to clean and restore aluminum engine parts all the time,

We used Cold Jet at my old job to clean matched metal mold dies (up to 50,000 pound tools) and large screens for silk screening among other odd bits. It had to be done in a special closed room and the person operating had to be in a full environmental suite with pumped in air. Oh, and it was LOUD! The machine made its own dry ice pellets. It is now automated on a robot arm. We had also had a laser ablative system that was supposed to replace the dry ice machine, but that got nixed at the last minute for some very stupid reasons as it worked very well. The little guy you were using does an OK job for light stuff, but as you saw, was not up to the task of the amount of grime you were up against. Honestly, while messy, walnut blasting would have been better.
