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

[@digital4282]

I love the 80s vibe you put on the Quattro videos, the music is spot on!

[@garyworokevich2524]

The results of that dry ice blasting is amazing.

[@rsprockets7846]

They also make plastic media blasting

[@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

[@kevincampbell8298]

Been watching dry ice videos for a few years. It has to be one of the best. No chemicals. Not using tons if water. And you can simply sweep up the debris.

[@jimsteen7648]

Nice job! Air drier at compresser we help.

[@todddembsky8321]

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.

[@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 ... ?

[@Cam-wi3tp]

tub of dry ice like that should last a week. It doesn't melt, so it doesn't clump. It evaporates. We used this stuff a lot in our manufacturing facility. Great job!

[@Symbu]

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

[@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!

[@Mr360ryan]

Amazing!! So can't wait for dry ice blaster to become more affordable. Great work!

[@LeewardStudios]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 🕊💜💜💜🕊

You finally got one! Congrats! Literally the best thing ever for someone as OCD about cleaning as you are.

[@douglasfrompa593]

Wow, that looks amazing. Definately see an upswing in dry ice blasters being sold coming up Thanks for another great video, Sarah.

[@jumpinjojo]

*Definitely

[@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

[@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!

[@danielmahoney5391]

Incredible work Sarah, my hats off to you for tackling and successfully getting such detailed work done meticulously and will humorous humility.

[@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.

[@SuburbanBBQ]

That was the coolest thing ever! I've never seen that process before. That Audi is quite bad ass.

[@SarahnTuned]

It is super fun to watch and do for that matter!

[@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.

[@realwheelman]

I loved the pizza shot. Great visual story telling.

[@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 !!!

[@FNBSSjohntruncali3297]

I learn something NEW on this channel EVERYTIME Sarah..Thank you

[@Oregu7]

Love the 80s vibe, good job taking us back to our childhoods. Well, some of us.

[@Bill_CBR]

That really was an amazing difference. Who would have thought. Looks great.

[@dalecostello3442]

First time I’ve watched any of your videos. Can’t wait to see a lot more. Very educational for sure.

[@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. 👍👍👍

[@clayrowe3509]

I live in Florida, and I do to sailboats what you do to cars. But there’s so much crossover. Engine work, detailing, electrical system work, structural work………. I get a lot of ideas watching you. Thx

[@skippy.30]

Wow that’s amazing, you do all the research for everyone who’s been looking for a alternative cleaner with super results….best video yet.

[@georgebrejcha3331]

Fantastic video and fantastic effort .....gotta love a girl who loves her car to do what you do for your UR, and that dry ice treatment is indeed awesome. Never seen anything like that here in UK, not even sure if anything like that is available . Trouble is all my Audis need something that will sort out the rust as that is usually more of a problem than the dirt is!

[@def1791]

Looks amazing ! I’ve never seen dry I’ve blasting done or the results afterwards. Thank you for this video. You go above and beyond detailed cleaning !

Sarah. Dry ice blasting is really amazing for cleaning up dirty greasy wiring harnesses

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

[@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!.

[@freedomstar3814]

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

[@rorybisson756]

@13:24 the cute dirt patch on the side of your nose. is super adorable lol.

Astonishing results, really exciting to know of this system

[@tinkeralexander5639]

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

[@johnmcnaught7453]

Nice job, I'm impressed by how well the system works. Love your content. Take Care.

[@Nof60twindriver]

I hauled thousands of pounds of dry ice to a northern Cansdian diamond mine via airplane so they could enviorently blast stuff. Great to see how it works. Thanks for another great video!!

[@dalehenry4694]

WoW Sarah that was the coolest thing I ever seen for cleaning, you are such an an inspiration for new ideas.

[@DaveVanWest]

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.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@Florian.K.]

Wow, that's so satisfying to watch. It was nice knowing you sodablaster 😅

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

[@LearningJeff]

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

[@noelclark693]

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

[@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.

[@boostedls4901]

One thing I will say Sara from ur first video til now you haven’t changed like most you tubers Keep up the great work

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

A clean underside is satisfying, indeed!

[@irregularf150]

That does an amazing job and soft enough to not remove too much.

[@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.

"all different angles" damn right! The black ash on your nose...a cute touch.

[@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.

[@jd440]

Now you can offer dry ice blasting as a service, and make money with it. Look online at different companies offering that kind of services and costs for different areas of the car, and you can price it accordingly. Get a few cars a week, and make decent money with it. After some time you can upgrade to a much bigger ice blaster setup. Getting this type of work done isnt cheap, but it is worth it in the end.

[@colintx800]

Love you Sarah! You always put a smile on my face 😁

[@SirMasterMarc]

That was very satisfying to see the before and after effect. so cool how it cleaned up soooo well. 😄

[@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!

[@Notasheepleandneverwillbe]

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 .

[@sharkeyist]

3m 6000 series full face is what i used to wear for fab work. If you get headaches spend time adjusting the straps so they sit on the hard bits of your head more than the soft bits.

[@ianprice2298]

That blaster is amazing! Makes me wonder if you even needed to pre-clean the worst crud off? As per your mask question, I can recommend MIRA Safety, they have full-face masks for prepping, but you can use any kind of filter on a proper gas mask.

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.

You're looking for 3m versaflo. Powered respirator. Nothing beats the quality and lightweight for heavy industrial work, painting, medical. Can get helmet, hood, or face shield, and welding helm. Used the hard hat helmet and intrinsically safe blower with hepa, spark arrestor, etc for a couple years now. 10hr run time. The painters helmet/faceshield is lighter.

[@Gene1969]

It's about time you ate something. 🙂 I like how the ice doesn't hurt the plastic clips. Does using it keep the temps cooler under the "tarp"? I would love to see you experiment and dry ice detail an engine still in its bay.

[@fat_biker]

If you can find a few local shops to sell on the merits of dry ice blasting, depending on how affordable that machine is, then you can do syndicate buys of dry ice & split the material up into smaller coolers for each syndicate member...

[@dre3k78]

That was extremely rewarding to watch the results of that machine. Very impressive to say the least. And yeah there has to be a better way to come across less then that amount of dry ice to buy in bulk quantity.

[@dondiego2262]

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.

I get blocks of dry ice at the local grocery store. Usually for Halloween. They sell it in blocks by weight. 2x blocks cost me $64. There has to be another source local to you.

Buyers of evs for the 1st time will have installed a home charger , the domestic cable for emergency use only , and rarely get used in evs. Lack of silicone chips means manufacturers are seeing where they can cut down on usage , the domestic 'granny cable ' is one area where they can cut down on chips.

We've gone for intense jobs from p3/n95 masks to airstream helmets suchs as 3M Versaflo. Is it more comfortable, I'd say so.
