Dry Ice Detailing Magnus Walkers 1977 Ice Green Metallic Porsche 930

Sometimes in our business we get to interact with special clients. This is one such occasion. Urban Outlaw Magnus Walker engaged us to Dry Ice Clean his 1977 Ice Green Metallic Porsche Turbo in preparation for Bring-A-Trailer. The author of the the book Dirt Don't Slow You Down wanted to see what removing dirt could do for his very unique 930.Show more

What we showed Magnus is you can enjoy these cars and clean up the mechanical bits to ensure everything is in proper working order. He decided to clean the bottom of the car, but leave the wheel well bodies original and dirty as our process would remove a black coating that we could not save. He wanted to ensure no original finishes were replaced, so we cleaned the areas that would look great without and change and really improved the look and presentation of the car for the auction.

Thanks to Magnus, for coming in, he was great to work with and very involved in our process to ensure the right outcome for his brand and potential new owner.

The Ultimate Dry Ice Cleaning

Thirty years ago, preserving or restoring a collector car required complete disassembly, prep of each part, and reassembly back to like new spec. The cars were simple, and the components primitive and plentiful.

Fast forward to today, the complexity and lack of replacement parts create an entirely new challenge. The 70's, 80's and 90's era cars collectors are chasing today utilize complex electromechanical systems that require a completely new approach. Plastic materials, delicate computer modules and special coatings from these eras will not survive the harsh chemicals and cleaning methods used in the past, not to mention the current desire to preserve these artifacts instead of taking them apart risking witness marks and/or damage in the process. How will we clean, preserve, and protect these collectibles?

Fortunately, preservation technology and innovation advanced to solve this problem. Dry Ice cleaning offers a way to clean complex automotive surfaces and parts, no disassembly required. A highly trained Dry Ice professional (Dryce®) will remove years of grime from the underbody, engine bay, jambs, external body trim, and interior without disturbing the original factory build or finishes. Often mistaken as a form of abrasive blasting, a properly equipped Dryce® system and trained operator will not harm the finish, gloss or factory build in the cleaning process. In fact, in many cases a Dryce® service can rejuvenate and restore the original look. Utilizing the best methods, along with proven systems and equipment, the Dryce® team will deliver an exceptional and previously unobtainable result.

Unlike traditional pressure washing or steam detailing, the Dryce® process is 100% waterless and dry. The Dryce® process will not introduce moisture into sensitive metal parts and/or electronic parts that may rust or corrode later. In many cases, vehicles produced within the last 20 years have labels warning that pressure washers cannot be used in the engine bays due to risk of damaging sensitive parts.
