Why our dry ice cleaning is ideal for the automotive sector
With dry ice cleaning for cars and other vehicles you rely on one of the most modern methods in this field. Solid carbon dioxide (CO₂) in pellet form hits the areas to be cleaned at high speed. This so-called dry ice passes directly from the solid to the gaseous state and incidentally removes even the most stubborn contamination.
In vehicle detailing, the use of our precise dry ice cleaning on and in the car enables significant quality improvements with simultaneous time savings. Thanks to Dry Ice Energy's modern technology and our high-quality premium dry ice, you can effectively and efficiently clean car interiors, engines, upholstery and electrical components in an environmentally friendly way — without water and without aggressive and health-hazardous chemicals.

How to clean a car in practice
Many users want to clean, for example, a heavily soiled engine bay. Conventional methods often fail at oil and grease deposits that sit deep in corners and edges. Our innovative, mobile dry ice cleaning on the car works very easily:
- Preparation: we recommend using gloves and safety goggles.
- Application: the dry ice pellets are blasted in a targeted manner onto the soiled areas. The extreme cold (−78 °C) freezes dirt and grease and blasts them off via sublimation.
- Result: the dry ice evaporates immediately — neither water nor dirt residues remain on the car.
