Using My Dry Ice Machine for the First Time - IC 022 EVO Unboxing and Impressions

This is really nice. Really works well but i'm waiting a few years for the Harbor Freight Bauer edition.

[@transparentdetailing1954]

From a non-1%er…$10k isn’t a bad investment if you can turn it into a service that not a lot of people are offering.

[@WildcatBirdie]

The problem is its not just $10K, go to the other dry ice vids, and he talks about how the compressor needed is a large cost, as well, and this is just for this small one. I think it is still a viable investment for a detailing company that is well set up and has a higher end clientele.

[@transparentdetailing1954]

@@WildcatBirdie let’s just call it $20k. There’s only going to be a few people interested but maybe you can charge $1500-2k per job. At that point you’ll make the money back quickly assuming you can market yourself well. This is definitely not for a weekend warrior unless they’re the 1%.

[@WildcatBirdie]

@@transparentdetailing1954 Oh 100%. If you are getting this in depth in a detail, you are talking HIGH end detailing. In my area, the only way I can make that kind of money is when I do correction and coating, and those are pretty rare in my area, so where I am at, I could never swing this on a professional level, and I am not a 1% person either. I would love for someone in my area to do this though, so I can get my 5 year old wheels that have some pretty caked on stuff that I can't get off on my own cleaned up, that way I could coat them properly.

I am thinking this could be a game changer in general detailing. As I watch White Details, the time he takes with door jambs, emblems, trim, intricate grills and his “toothpickery” . This would cut the time by 80 percent. I put it in perspective from something all of us may watch. I certainly know it would be a game changer for me.

[@jpargentino]

This would be interesting to see how well it cleans intake valves for direct injected engines compared to the dusty walnut shells.

Pretty neat setup. Some people are gonna hate no matter what you do. The static was most likely building up on you, not the car. You were discharging on the car.

[@Lassitude1001]

Get one of the grounding bracelets/ankle straps that people use building PCs. Grounds you to the PC (or Car in this case).

[@carystone7168]

Some of the grocery stores sale 5lbs blocks of dry ice in DFW, TX. So maybe other areas you will find the same.

[@305kingMLW]

At 36:08 to 36:11 I thought I was losing my mind until I watched it again hahaha. But awesome video.

[@_westcoastcanine_]

The only way to truly clean the screws and washers is to drop the engine and tranny from the frame. Clean with dry ice, then easily bolt tarnny and engine back to frame. Easy 💰. There’s also a special water, 45$ a gallon. Best and easiest way to clean a screw in my opinion. Do it every weekend. 👍🏼

[@bcastromusic]

What special water? Plated hardware and aluminum are the hardest parts of car to clean satisfactorily

[@jaylawvlogs264]

Yeti coolers have a compression release valve in the drain plug

[@Sivart321]

Matt, would love to see you clean your bike with this!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Great idea!

[@DBG_detailing]

Thats actually an awesome idea!

[@robertfontaine3650]

Love these dry ice cleaners. The Sanitmax is a 1/4 the price and much bigger. Pretty nice but you have to add another 3k for a proper compressor. I expect you could DIY the machine very easily for far less. The compressor is the critical part.

[@ObsessedGarage]

$3K for a compressor? It's more like $30K.

[@robertfontaine3650]

@@ObsessedGarage Nope, you can set up a dedicated compressor for well under 3k. Similarly a cooling unit can be had for well under 3k with capacity to clean under carriage wheel wells etc. Having a "guy" come in and plumb a a high end air system is 30k. A properly sized air cannister and a go cart motor would keep up or a similar 220 motor if you don't want a portable solution. I'm doing the research on setting up a portable solution this evening. The ice consumables is the biggest thing to keep covered.... Need to do more than two or three vehicles per 500 pound order to keep prices down. ... No one within 1500 miles of here provides this service for vehicles.

[@timbrown9731]

Well if you can get a good consumer logistics grasp on dry ice that would be awesome!

[@g.dubyou6263]

I can’t wait until Ryobi makes one for $500! $10k if you own a shop, and this is your get down. But as a private owner, I wouldn’t pay more than Krānzle cost for this system.

[@ScottAles]

But unfortunately, you'll have to wait. Because all the big KZbinrs are telling everyone it doesn't work. You think some big company is going to go into large scale production to get costs down on a system that currently is completely misunderstood? It will be 3-5 years at least before those big guys even look at this market. By then, our peeps will have paid for their $10k machines 50 times. Even as a private owner. That is, if you really understand what your time is worth. The big thing people miss is the drying time. ok, maybe you can clean something almost as good, but how long does it take to dry it?

[@ScottAles]

@Clark Kyle You couldn't be more wrong in your assessment. I can't wait till anyone offers a $500 dry ice machine. My business is built around charging people a monthly fee to show them everything I've learned and provide them a platform to support one another. I do not prefer selling machines, that's why OG does it for me. I import the machines only to serve our community. Before you trash me, understand that before I took the initiative to bring our $10k machine here to the US, the least costly offering was $15k. And you never knew it even existed, did you? So no, selling machines at almost 60 years old is not my thing! As to the absurdly overpriced rate, you should speak to my clients. Instead of paying a restoration shop $50-75k over 6 months to disassemble their original cars, clean, refinish, and reassemble (they're never the same once you take them apart) they're pretty darn happy paying us $5k +/- to do it in less than 1 week. As to what you or anyone else would or wouldn't pay for something. Completely immaterial. You wouldn't use one of these machines if it was given to you. Because it takes another $10k to set up the compressed air solution to run it. Then there is the .50 to $1.00 / lb. dry ice you have to buy in 500 lbs increments. And the safely designed place to do the work without danger to your health. And it can be very loud! And those issues only compound when you move up to a professional grade system. Setting that up is over $150k. Lastly, I'm the epitome of a DIY guy. Never went to college, drove a semi from 14-20, ran a combine over 1000 acres my senior year of high school, started my career with $0.00, received nothing from my parents who have both passed other than love/support, and have been wrenching my entire life. How are you helping people advance their careers and bettering their lives daily?

[@rob_over_9000]

This initially seemed like a really cool idea, but at the end of the day it seems more like air blasting with CO2 than any sort of media blasting. Given how cold it makes things, and 40%+ RH, it seems likely that you'd end up with condensation on everything which would dry to water spots and make everything worse.

[@ObsessedGarage]

This is why ambient humidity matters. Doing it in an air conditioned garage with a refrigerated dryer takes care of the rest. Otherwise you'd see a giant plumber of condensation.

@@2wheelsx2 The impression that Cleaning with water and liquid chemicals is quicker is often presented. What is not considered is the drying time. And water spots left behind in the hard to reach places. You cannot wash with water AND dry something in two minutes. I mean really dry it. And when you notice you missed one little spot after drying, you have to get it wet again. Then dry it all over. When using the EVO, see a spot you missed? Shoot it, you're DONE!
