Dry Ice Cleaning Porsche 964 Dirty Engine Detail

Dry Ice Blasting in the car detailing world has exploded over the past few weeks. The irony is that this type of cleaning has been available for many years as a non-destructive method for safely cleaning surfaces in the industrial and commercial markets. Cleaning and detailing disaster cars and engines has been done before, but never with so much social media presence. I'm using a Cold Jet machine with a 375cfm compressor that was rented from Red-D-Arc tool rental in NJ.. This set-up is a bit more "industrial" and less precise due to its industrial design. In other words, my ignorance picked the wrong machine for this type of precise work, but it was super educational to go through the "growing pains" of my education. Nonetheless, the ice balster did a great job. The operator (me) needs more practice and most likely a smaller nozzle to get into all the nooks and crevices. What I have learned is that Dry Ice Detailing is "part" of the many services our industry can provide. It's an add-on similar to clear bra (PPF), window tinting, paintless dent removal (PDR), and coating applications. Next week we have an expert coming to the AMMO NYC Studio to teach me (us) everything we need to know about dry ice blasting vehicles and how to do it safely. Hope everyone enjoys! -Larry

[@Nick210]

You realize Larry is bringing up the rear in this whole dry ice blasting wave, right?

[@FuManchu5ltr]

This is not new by any means. Late to the party maybe but if this gets more people interested in it, then that’s a win for the industry.

[@breakshot7451]

i am a simple man i wanna have a porsche, a garage and a soft ice machine, i like strawberry

[@FullOilBarrel]

Brush and soapy water works terrible

[@AMMO-NYC]

Just wanted to give a thank you to the guy that first showed me this process 9 years ago. Paul Dalton. I've always wanted to try it and so many of you have asked me to do a video on it...so thx again Paul! Here is his video from what feels like 100 years ago. Hope you are well Paul! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYKYg6awadSpm6c

[@gabrielg.cardozo1720]

But it's only really useful to more complex restorations, isn't it?

[@MiracledetailCoUk]

Thank you kindly I’m well, hope you are too!? Which ice machine did you use and the dry ice pellet size ?

[@kadimsilahtar]

Use a sort of tent to cover the whole car before the dry ice application and please do not swipe the dirt out by brush or compressed air. Use a vacuum cleaner or collect them from wet floor then into a specific container. Thnx for the great content.

[@bigdaddy741098]

I was wondering how long you think it would have taken to get the same results, including the exhaust and aluminum to the same level, without the dry ice machine, just using your traditional methods?

[@robertadrianwayne]

I literally discovered Dry ice Cleaning about a month ago or so and now you're doing it too, the stars aligned. You could use a curtain around the car so you can still clean inside and stop the dust particles flying everywhere!

[@Th3Br0wnman]

With ice blasting comes a ice blasting tent...

[@lilPOPjim]

Yeah I've always wondered why he has an open studio, as opposed to a dedicated area where everything wouldn't get coated in spray from the jet washer and dirt/ dust from general cleaning.

[@churblefurbles]

would also need a massive negative pressure exhaust extractor, more and more trouble once you think about it

[@phunkdoctaspock]

Not literally

[@analactica]

What about the top ? Would I need a sealed room or just the sides is enough ?

[@SilverCymbal]

Two things: That tool is amazing! & I want to live in that shop! Awesome video, loved seeing this process.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Love your channel. Need to chat one day. Need major lawn help :)

Those machines are around $20k. I can def. See why this service is so expensive.

[@Stadpad]

Next episode: how to detail a shop after ice blasting 😁

[@armchairmaster]

I didn't even know ice blasting was a thing until now, it looks real cool. As far as the soot getting everywhere, two things: 1. You now have a reason to do a "Detailing My Shop" video, if desired. 2. Other people say drop down walls/curtains, but since the design of the studio might make that difficult, an easier solution could be using those plastic covers (like you used on the green Porsche to protect it from that one concept Baja) to form a tarp over the lifted car. Then you could tape the end facing the open garage door to an industrial fan to suck soot outside to make cleanup easier.

[@jeremymason1721]

Obsessed garage just did 3-4 videos highlighting dry ice cleaning

[@TheRouger7]

I've been following Dry Ice cleaning for years. If I didn't already have a thriving business, I'd love to get into a business with Dry Ice cleaning. It's perfect for YOUR business to offer that service to your clients, Larry !!!

[@jeromeallen185]

Had been said before but i’ll say it again: You see other detailers washing their cars the usual way but when you watch Larry you see an artisan. The craftsmanship involved in all the videos. Man. Wow.

[@theprojectproject01]

#5 cylinder looks like it's running hot, bud

[@lufia1624]

Larry I absolutely love that you've been doing this for years and are happy to demonstrate curiosity, surprise, and not be afraid to say "lesson learned." Yours is the attitude I want to model when I'm an expert in something. Keep it up!

[@ThreeWrap]

Clicks on Ammo video, immediate thumbs up

[@dallastruckscene9755]

Saw this technique on Tommyfyeah’s channel, this is so impressive and satisfying to watch

[@AMMO-NYC]

Huge thanks to my friend Paul Dalton for inspiring the dry ice blasting for all of us all those years ago.

[@crsmith56]

I am glad to see people using this method. My company actually sells dry ice and rents/sells the Red D Arc dry ice blasting machines!

[@SandyNickk]

This further reinforces that track cars aren’t just cars that get beaten, knocked around, and thrown in a shed until the next event. You can tell that this car has been loved, used as it was designed, and taken care of. Beautiful car, great job!

[@ZooYorkismybrand]

You can tell Larry birthed all of these KZbin detailer guys. And still miles ahead of them !!!

[@pearcepolcyn5497]

I'm surprised you don't have drop down walls for that center area, to keep everything contained Larry

I was thinking about that ever since he opened this shop. I find it crazy that he allows all the water mist, dirt, dust, go everywhere in the shop covering everything, including other cars in there, kitchen, tables, like wtf.

@@GabrijelPezelj - he's not as OCD as I thought. I would have stop the second I new about the dirt flying everywhere.

[@bmac1629]

@@TheCompyshop Fair point its a new tool, but the car in the next bay over that gets over spray from pressure washing all the time seems like it would lead to more cleaning needed.

Imagine detailing in VR since you can't purchase the all tools necessary for cleaning. That'd be so nice.

You could always work for a detail shop if you’re interested in getting started

@@MorningMindfulness will get there eventually! Purchased my first pressure washer and foam cannon last week. Not really making that much in $. But I've been following detailing channels for years now. Just the thought of having it in VR is sort of fun to imagine.

Dude that 964 is so lucky to have you as the owner, I mean from that crazy paint job, to now this, unbelievable 🤯

[@charlescc1000]

Definitely looking forward to more on ice blasting. Looks like a very promising technique that we haven’t heard a ton about yet. I think it’d be helpful to talk about the costs involved of the rental equipment, dry ice costs and other tools/costs needed. Cool video!

[@roberthennel]

Amazing technique, love it. Just today I got to bring back my old 2008 mustang convertible to life for the season (still needs a tire change and a pre-season service) and looking at it (the old beast is good looking from the far, but far from good looking) I actually ran through all the steps you would take to make it look much better. I actually will use a few of the techniques you have taught us, thanks for all the wonderful instructions.

[@lwwahlert]

Amazingly quick & pristine!!! Loved this Larry.

[@woodhead0823]

Wondered when this was coming! God this must make you so happy! I'm jealous 😮

Crazy that you made this video with this machine. I have been researching these and thinking about buying one for about a month now and then I see it on your channel that I have followed for some time now. Great content.

[@mateoduquelondono]

Need to watch the videos from I Am Detailing on KZbin and maybe talk to them, their results are absolutely amazing. And they always use at the end a laker to protect what it was done. Love that you are using this method now, a real game changer.

[@alexlai2580]

Also, it’s great that you rented the equipment and learned from experience. 🙌

[@kristofk1902]

By far the most satisfying tool on earth

[@highway9patrol]

You are the best detailer I followed on youtube. The gap with the second place and you is too much. I wish you live in San Jose, CA.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Appreciate the note for sure, but there are a ton of great detailers on and OFF YT. As long as detailing stays fun and provides for the fam...I will keep doing it as long as my body allows. Again, thx for the thoughtful note :) -L

What a result, glad to see the 964 again, the build of that car was honestly perfect. The way it was done, in that particular order and everything with really high picture and audio quality. I think I'm gonna have to rewatch some of it! Did ice blasting and the following dirt buildup give you any thoughts about having a tenting(?) solution put into the studio so that you can cocoon the washing area?
