Dry Ice Automotive Cleaning
Precision Cleaning. Zero Compromise.
At ESOTERIC, true automotive preservation goes far beyond what the eye can see. Our Dry Ice Automotive Cleaning service represents the most advanced, non-abrasive cleaning technology available toda, trusted by collectors, concours competitors, and discerning enthusiasts worldwide.
Dry ice cleaning allows us to safely and thoroughly clean areas of your vehicle that traditional methods simply cannot reach, without water, chemicals, or abrasion.
What Is Dry Ice Cleaning?
Dry ice cleaning uses compressed air to propel solid CO₂ pellets at targeted surfaces. Upon impact, the pellets instantly sublimate (transition from solid to gas), lifting away dirt, grease, oil, road grime, and contaminants, leaving no residue behind.
Because the process is:
- Non-abrasive
- Non-conductive
- Moisture-free
…it is ideal for delicate, high-value automotive components.
Where Dry Ice Cleaning Excels
Dry ice cleaning is especially effective for:
- Engine bays
- Undercarriages
- Suspension components
- Wheel wells
- Chassis & subframes
- Transmission housings
- Hard-to-reach crevices and seams
This process safely cleans areas that would otherwise require disassembly or aggressive chemicals, making it a preferred solution for both modern performance vehicles and irreplaceable classics.
