This was the most satisfying video ever. You're Audi looks like it's just a few months old now. Absolutely amazing work.

[@SarahnTuned]

It was for me too, haha

[@jeremylittle1581]

I do powder coating and find the 3M 6900 full face respirator is pretty comfortable. I wear it 8+ hours per day and don’t get headaches. Plus you can get dust filters or vapor filters for the same mask. Love your content!

[@paulhe1195]

I've done powder coating for the government, and a little oven cooking and sand blasting,, but I've never done sand blasting with dry ice, now I wanna do both my 89 VW, and my 02 Ranger, and I agree with ya Jeremy Little, the 6900 by 3M, probablythe best mask, I wear another regular 3M Mask with the 6900, but i still get shit in my nose/lungs, but as is life, I love the content too Sarah, I wish I had the time to fix my cars like you, but I work too much, guess I should work less, lol

[@djeity]

Absolutely recommend the 3M 6000-series full face respirators; they are comfortable and you can interchange filters depending on whether you just want dust or also VOCs filtered. You'll probably want the 6700 or maybe the 6800, they are all the same except for the size. 6700 is small, 6900 as recommended by the others here is the Large size which, even though you're not an elf, will almost certainly be too large for you simply because you're a woman. I suggest visiting a PPE store and trying on the various sizes, don't try and mail-order this.

[@JayLepisto]

As I have suggested in the past, this is the mask for fiberglass and dust, work in attics and crawlspaces, as well as spraying lacquer and other finishes. The cartridges can be swapped for various types of protection.

[@jeremylittle1581]

@@djeity I didn’t even think of the sizing part! Great tip.

[@hackmechanic]

May as well hop on. Yup, 3M 6000 series masks are great.

[@lordgrey5197]

Sarah, When I worked in the pharmaceutical industry, we had a set up for Dusty or hazardous materials. It was called a Racal protective suit. It had a battery powered fan with HEPA filter that you wear around your waist. A tube goes from the pack to the helmet. The helmet took the filtered air from the fan, and blows it down across your face. The helmet has a face shield, and a Tyvek strap with air holes at the bottom, where the air exits. It called a laminar flow hood. I looked it up just now, and Racal was bought by 3M. The line is called 3M/Racal now. Hope you like it. Gary Silver City, New Mexico

[@pistolpete8887]

Sarah that was a really interesting video, I would never have thought dry ice could do such a great job. I'm sure a lot of people will give this a try, and thank you for showing this on your channel.

[@pclayton5063]

You have to look at the cost of this little project though. Results were great but maybe not worth the cost unless you buy it for a shop where you can earn your money back.

[@WrenchS13]

the machines themselves are $3000 and up. then add the cost of the dry ice... this isn't for the average DIY people

[@holographicsteve7338]

Hey maybe there will be 'rent-a-rack' type of shops that would rent the machines ... ?

[@LearningJeff]

It’s a great method of harm free cleaning, I wasn’t aware could be used for this application. Awesome Sarah, thanks.

[@Symbu]

Thats pretty cool, i've never seen something like this blaster that works so quickly and effectively.

[@jbee3]

Holy Mr Freeze Batman, that was amazing to watch. I am so glad that it just made you smile for three days!! Love the nose make-up, the black is very striking.

[@LuvMyGT500]

That was an awesome video Sarah, the before/after comparison was epic! I’ve never used dry-ice cleaning like this but damn… I’m so ready to try after watching your video.

[@paulrapp6]

Sarah, Item the first: the left side of your nose needs a bit of dry ice blasting 😱. Item the second: 3M makes a respirator that has a full face mask. It takes air in through a waist pack filter and sends it to the mask through a hose. Item the third: hit the bottom of Ragnar with the dry ice you have left. Keep the aspidistra flying! Paul

[@azarahwagner2749]

OMG YAAAASSSSSS I am addicted to watching dry ice cleaning 🥰 Thank you for sharing Angel hugs and blessings to you and yours and all 🕊💜💜💜🕊

[@tinkeralexander5639]

Dry ice can also be used on upholstery. The door panels on my 1964 truck came out looking new after a blasting.

[@LeewardStudios]

That is incredible how it made those parts look factory fresh!

For a respirator, I use the Miller PAPR 288356. Full face mask, and has a "remote" powered filter that attaches to a belt or sling.

[@jkflorida]

Damn that was super satisfying to watch! Dry Ice blasting is no joke!

[@SirMasterMarc]

[@kirstenspencer3630]

Dry ice blasting works great on so many materials. I demoed one to clean up fire scorched timber framed ( clear heart redwood ) came out BEAUTYFUL. NO GRIT RESIDUES. Makes clean up a breeze.

[@freedomstar3814]

For someone who has major OCD , the dry ice blasting is magical delicious.

[@c31irq]

That's F**king Incredible! I wasn't a fan, from when you were doing the interior before (different technique), but with the hardware that s**t is amazing! It's like the Laser Rust Removal only for dirt & grime! Cleaning is crazy therapeutic & dry ice blasting really amps that up! So glad you have the gear now & showed us what's up!

[@Primus54]

ASMR during the time-lapse for me. I watch a few channels of toy restorations (like Tonkas), and the favorite part is watching rust and old paint being removed in media blasting cabinets. The PERFECT equipment for your OCD, Sarah. Glad you pulled the trigger on getting it, but I sympathize with the cost of the medium. Thank you. 👍👍👍

[@bearddevil]

Super satisfying, indeed. I'm really glad you got to play with one of these tools. I hope the partnership continues so you can CLEAN ALL THE THINGS, as it were.

[@bartsimpson1961]

Thank You! I've always been curious about dry ice blasting.

[@Manoffire260]

I used a similar system to remove mold in an attic. Don’t they warn you about using it in a confined space? The CO2 (in volume) can deplete oxygen levels if you don’t have exhaust and intake air.

[@Gassit]

My thoughts exactly, you gotta be careful with that stuff, only use it in a well ventilated area.

[@timothyhays1817]

[@dankingsbury9971]

@@timothyhays1817 Average per-capita CO2 emissions in the US is about 15 metric tons (33,000 lbs), so Sarah just used up about 1% of her allowance. Of course, it would be nice to not do that, but any alternative is likely to be similar CO2 cost.

[@Nof60twindriver]

[@ngmtk7t]

Love this video, Sarah! I learned about dry ice blasting some years back, using it to take graffiti off of a stainless steel railroad passenger car, which it did perfectly. Our vendor had the pellets but also had a 2nd machine that used a solid block of dry ice to draw from. An internal ice shaver made dry ice shavings from the block, which are a bit more aggressive than pellets. The pellets wouldn’t touch corrosion but the shavings did, easily removing light corrosion along with any other close coating. Could be an option. Also, have you ever considered laser rust removal? Not sure exactly how it works but it might also be an option for heavier or deeper rust. Great videos, I also learn new things every time I watch - thank you!!

[@rawrestorationblastingllc3749]

The right equipment makes a difference. Dry ice when purchased in bulk is much cheaper. Glad to see dry ice blasting become more popular.

[@nitcat1]

Astonishing results, really exciting to know of this system

[@simplysimon9868]

Really impressed with how it cleans and leaves the paint marks on parts. Great job!! Bet its not cheap but the results speak volumes.

[@robertfontaine3650]

I want one. So cool. The undercarriage needs some follow up elbow grease and polish on the metal but the level of clean is surreal. inline air dryer is a thing.

[@somestuffithoughtyoumightl6985]

Very nice job editing in the soundtrack. Some may not like the particular track, but it was not overbearing and you mixing the voice perfectly.

[@freddibnay4094]

It shows the protection did it’s job and now you need to protect it again to stop the rust getting a foot hold ! Great job though interesting to see!.

[@noelclark693]

Great and informative video. Actually carrying out dry-ice blasting successfully by yourself is a huge achievement. Well done!

[@driveitlikeyastoleit55]

Works pretty well. Reminds me of the mid 90's when my friends and I discovered the joys of dry ice pellets and a little bit of water in a plastic soda bottle. Shake it up, screw the lid on and ...boom!

[@arnaldofettuccine5227]

That's quite an amazing machine, never heard of dry ice blasting until this video. I wondered where all the dirt would go, I found out 😄

[@cec3ful]

You are the most really unrealistic clean human being I have ever seen do things like this. Totally enjoyable

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Awesome! I've never seen dry ice blasting done, so it's really cool to be able to see how well it works. As far as respirators go, I've only ever used the half-face kind 3M, when Iused to do drywall work. I've heard their full-face styles are wonderful, but I'm not familiar with wearing or fitting them. You could see if the paint place next door might have a recommendation. They may even be able to help you fit it. A properly fitted respirator should be relatively comfortable to wear for at least 6-8 hours.

[@dozerman53111]

That dry ice blaster is slicker than owl snot on a doorknob. Great job. I wore a forced air full face respirator where I worked. Great to wear. It was made by North. Sealed up tight. Thanks !!!

[@Kwirks]

Absolutely loved watching this satisfying video Sarah & seeing the end result. Your hard work always pays off & then putting it altogether with the editing. Thank you.

[@rayschoch5882]

The suspension parts come out looking amazing, as does the rest of the underside of the car. I'd never heard of dry ice as a cleaning agent, to this was an eye-opener!

[@Shadowband72]

It makes sense though , you use dry ice to remove sound deadening on the inside . Because it freezes the goopy mess and makes it shatter like glass , so you can do things like weld in a roll cage .

[@7gdhaliwal]

Wow that amazing transformation and very satisfying to watch. Great video and a job well done.

Kind of an expensive clean up job but if you're happy with it then so be it. You should go talk to the folks at your local welding shop. There is a full hood breather for welders (the people) to use that might be just the ticket for you.

Years ago we had to clean up a reactor which was coated with a lot of arsenic before it can be moved to another lab. Instead of our usual hand scraping we used a dry ice blaster because it has to be very clean. The chamber was shiny down to the metal like brand new. The falling arsenic dust is another story.
