ACTdryice Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Just picked up an 89 TGP in Niagara Falls, 95000 miles, needed a tune up, alt and water pump to get it going..now to the rest of it. Gonna try and post some pics of the engine before and after dry ice blast cleaning it. Quote
ACTdryice Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 Ok , how do you add photos?.... Quote
Euro Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Wow that turned out awesome! How do you use the dry ice? Quote
ACTdryice Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 I have a dry ice blasting cleaning business, it's quite similar to sand blasting except we use pelletized co2. Nothing to clean up accept what is removed, co2 turns back to a gas on impact. And thank you! Quote
Galaxie500XL Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 That's amazing! I'm assuming there's little danger then of water intruding into stuff as well, compared to steam cleaning, right?

ACTdryice Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 Correct all dry ice is, is compressed carbon dioxide. It's forced into being a solid when it's run through a die, put it in a blaster add the correct(most gentle) attachment to the end of the gun and squeeze the trigger, it hits the surface and instantly converts back to a gas and expand 1 to 400 ratio on a cold surface and twice that on a hot one. No water, no left over material. My engine bay took abt 15-20 min. Quote
ACTdryice Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 Will post some exterior/interior shots in a bit, no rust, just a nice drivers side hit and roached paint.. Quote
