Dry Ice Blasting

If you want to properly clean the underside of your car without tearing everything apart or damaging original finishes, dry ice blasting is one of the best options available.

At RS Autowerks in Costa Mesa, we offer dry ice blasting and dry ice cleaning services for undercarriages, engine bays, suspension components, and other areas where traditional cleaning methods can be too aggressive or messy. This applies to Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and other European performance vehicles we service.

Undercarriage Cleaning

The goal is to remove years of dirt, oil, and grime while preserving factory coatings, finishes, and hardware.

Dry ice blasting cleans suspension, chassis, lines, and tight areas underneath the car without stripping coatings or introducing moisture where it does not belong.

Factory markings, casting textures, and original finishes stay intact, which is important for both preservation and higher-end builds.

Some cars need a basic cleanup. Others are closer to full restoration underneath. We will go over what makes sense for your car before starting.

Engine Bays and Components

Dry ice blasting is also ideal for engine bays, transmission housings, and other components that need to be cleaned without damaging surrounding materials.

It works especially well when a car is already in for service and you want everything properly cleaned before reassembly.

It allows us to remove built-up grease and grime from tight areas while keeping wiring, connectors, and sensitive components untouched.

Why Dry Ice Blasting

  • Non-abrasive and safe on original finishes
  • No moisture forced into seals, bearings, or internal cavities
  • No sand or media left behind in seams
  • Preserves factory markings, casting textures, and part numbers
  • Avoids risks of sandblasting, pressure washing, and harsh chemicals
  • Effective on grease, oil, and built-up grime
  • Works on metal, plastics, rubber, and sensitive components
  • Can clean tight areas without full disassembly
  • Removes buildup but is not intended for heavy rust removal
