Specialists in Automotive Preservation and Long-Term Protection
Get Instant QuoteWelcome to IceBlastPro – your specialists in automotive dry ice blasting and long-term vehicle preservation. We work exclusively with vehicles, taking a consultative, condition-led approach to automotive preservation and protection.
Our Approach:
We work solely on vehicles. From classics to modern performance cars, our experience allows us to assess each car individually and tailor the approach based on its condition, history, and intended use.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all process, we inspect first, test where needed, and only carry out work that is appropriate for the vehicle. While our packages provide a clear framework, the goal is always preservation - not unnecessary intervention.
Dry ice blasting is used carefully to remove contamination, loose corrosion, and underseal without damaging underlying surfaces. Where required, we then apply targeted protection treatments to stabilise and preserve the vehicle long-term.
Every vehicle is documented using our digital photo and video system, with customers receiving a treatment plan that records the work completed and provides guidance on future preservation and maintenance.
Dry ice blasting is a controlled, low-impact cleaning method that uses no water and introduces no cleaning chemicals during the cleaning stage. It is fundamentally different from pressure washing or steam cleaning, relying instead on thermal shock to lift contamination without saturating the vehicle. While significantly less aggressive than abrasive blasting, it is far more effective than washing methods and leaves no moisture or media behind – making it well suited to preservation-focused work on sensitive areas.
Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive surface treatment process that uses solid CO₂ (carbon dioxide) pellets accelerated in compressed air. On impact, the pellets sublimate – turning directly from solid to gas – which helps lift contamination from the surface without introducing moisture, abrasive media, or secondary residue.
This makes the process well suited to automotive preservation work, particularly in sensitive areas such as engine bays, underbodies, wheel arches, and complex assemblies where traditional cleaning or abrasive methods would be inappropriate.
Dry ice pellets are accelerated in a controlled stream of compressed air and directed at the surface being treated. The pellets are extremely cold (approximately –78°C), and on impact they undergo rapid sublimation, creating thermal shock that helps break the bond between contaminants and the surface.
Unlike abrasive blasting, the process does not erode the underlying material. And because the dry ice converts directly to gas, no moisture or secondary media is left behind – reducing the need for extensive strip-down and making the process well suited to preservation-focused automotive work.

Every vehicle undergoes specialist dry ice preparation, condition-led rust stabilisation where required, and correctly specified protection systems applied in a controlled workshop environment. Each project is fully documented with digital photo and video, alongside a clear treatment plan so you understand exactly what has been done and why.
We work on a consultative basis from the outset. We take the time to talk through your vehicle, its condition, how it’s used, and what level of protection is appropriate. We remain transparent throughout the process – before, during and after the work is carried out. We do not rush vehicles through. We do not seal over active corrosion. We preserve properly, for the long term.

Dry ice blasting removes bonded dirt, oil, loose corrosion and failing coatings without introducing moisture or abrasive media – making it well suited to underbodies, engine bays and complex assemblies.
Unlike abrasive blasting, dry ice does not erode metal or strip sound factory finishes. When applied correctly, it lifts contamination while preserving original surfaces.
Dry ice sublimates on impact — turning directly from solid to gas. This means no grit, no blasting media and no water left behind, reducing clean-up and avoiding additional strip-down work.
The process is appropriate for underbodies, engine bays, wheel arches and complex assemblies where a balance between effective cleaning and surface preservation is essential.

For full underbody preservation and protection packages, our Oxfordshire workshop provides the most controlled and effective environment.
To carry out mobile dry ice blasting safely and effectively, the following must be in place:
While we use containment measures, some dust escape is inevitable in non-controlled environments.
We’re a specialist team focused exclusively on automotive dry ice blasting and long-term vehicle preservation. Every vehicle that enters our workshop is treated as an individual project – inspected carefully, cleaned in a controlled environment, and protected according to its condition and future use.
Dry ice blasting is just one part of the process. What sets us apart is the time we dedicate, the detail we document, and the standards we apply throughout.
From initial inspection to final protection and curing, our approach is measured, methodical and transparent. We believe owners deserve to understand the true condition of their vehicles – not just see a cosmetic improvement.
If you’re looking for a quick surface clean, there are many providers available. If you’re looking for careful inspection, documented work and long-term preservation, that’s where we operate.
Every vehicle deserves more than a surface clean. Our condition-led process removes contamination, stabilises corrosion, and applies long-term protection systems designed to safeguard your vehicle’s underside for years to come. From inspection to documentation and curing, every stage is handled with care and precision – in a controlled workshop environment built for proper preservation.
