Dry Ice Cleaning is a great way to clean automotive parts and accessories, but how does it compare to sand blasting with glass beads? What is the difference and what can be learned from working on an engine exhaust manifold with heavy rust and an old brake rotor with surface oxidation? We use an "at home" sandblaster from Prevost that hooks up director to your air compressor and does a great job for an at home DIY car parts sand blaster. Dry ice blasting uses no abrasives and has no secondary waste (ie...sand) but requires (usually) an extreme amount of compressed air to remove heavy contamination. Hope this quick side by side is helpful when choosing which tool is best for your detailing disaster! -Larry

We tried dry ice blasting at work to clean used machinery as a greener alternative to high-pressure steam or water. We thought we could clean our equipment without removing the wiring and some other related components and also get a net labor cost reduction. The temperature differential was supposed to break the bond between the dirt and grease and the substrate without chemicals and the removed material could just be swept up and dropped in a trash can. It worked OK, but the noise ended up being a deal breaker: it was loud enough to impair all other work in the factory (170K SF), even in the office areas, so it had to be done on second shift. Buying the ice was a hassle because it evaporated over time (sublimation was the term, IIRC) you needed to order in advance and be ready to use it within 24-48 hours of delivery and also rent a special container. Additionally, even with our interior humidity at 50-60% flash rust was a problem with iron and steel as the parts warmed from -100F-ish. You can also hurt yourself with this stuff, from dry ice burns to asphyxia, if you don't give it due respect. In summary, it worked but was too much of a PITA for even small scale industrial usage, at least for us. It's a great tool for specific uses but it's probably one of those jobs better subbed out.

@AK-ui1zl 2 года назад

Yeah plus when you price a system (including a machine to make the dry ice on site) it’s like over $30k going a cheap route. You could easily spend more. Not worth it, sub contract it out all day long.

@-ex2598 2 года назад

Just speculating but i still think steam/water is a greener alternative. If you include compressor required, energy to get enough pressure and also storing producing the dry ice. The green ambition is not there anymore. Again... speculating.

@AK-ui1zl 2 года назад

@@-ex2598 yes steam is awesome, and eco friendly, but can still have water run off on big, nasty projects. I know because we have a fortador. It will not do as good of a job as the sand or dry ice blasting in terms of reconditioning parts. It will clean then good, but not make them look brand new. The appeal of the dry ice blasting is that when you clean something really nasty, like an old motor you want to look new, there is no water run off or sand to sweep up after. No water run off means no pollution making it to the sewers, lakes, rivers, or ocean which is definitely more green than say a pressure washer or steam washer and heavy chemicals. Sometimes you need abrasives like dry ice or sand to remove imbedded gunk, steam works great on newer parts and vehicles that haven’t been completely trashed though. Much cheaper option too and can be used for many applications around a shop.

I've don bead (glass or sand) blasting for years and you can control the effect of the glass bead VERY easily by controlling the pressure. You DON'T have to use 200 PSI all the time - I've done it VERY gently on aluminum down to 35PSI or less and still achieved EXTREMELY good results without damaging the underlying metal.

@WaterNai 2 года назад

I’ve never understood why people sandblast something and then have to spend hours sanding it to get it smooth. Seems they would have been better off to just sand the rust off. I thought maybe the media was too abrasive. Using lower PSI makes so much sense to get the ease of the sandblasting without leaving the surface rough and covered in little pits.

@zachcarter3186 Год назад

@@WaterNai Sand it down to reduce the surface profile , but yeah that's not something you usually do. We just use a softer material or less coarse grit. Turn the pressure down on softer surfaces as well. I only do steel and concrete surfaces as well

@glenwaldrop8166 Год назад

@@WaterNai I haven't dealt with that. Sandblasting typically is a less damaging way to get rid of rust vs sanding. It's generally more effective as well. Once you go beyond sand blasting you're removing material. Technically aggressive sand blasting is removing material but in a way that looks more like the original part than sanding in most cases.

@georgedennison3338 8 месяцев назад

@@WaterNaiYou have to sand it to remove any imbedded blasting media. Co-owned an industrial blasting & painting biz in the '80's. Also used the equipment in a business my partner & I worked in, (employees ran blasting comp 90% of time). We blasted cars & parts, doing antique auto restos & building street rods. I've blasted & painted just about every part of a car. When we started, we skipped sanding on non-critical surfaces like frames, hubs, manifolds & regreted it later when the paint came off. We were warned, but young & thought we could get by, (can't see no sand... don't come off when you rub... eff it, paint it... oh, chit, the paint comin' off?) We learned... LOL

@BillDerr 2 года назад

There's a company called Coulson based in Canada that makes an ice blaster unit (Ice Storm 45) that can use dry ice and wet (H2O) ice. By manipulating the size and temperature of the ice being used, it can actually give it the same harness as sand, which can allow it to do some abrasive work and would minimize the need for sandblasting. I've personally used one of their machines and it was amazing to use! By far the best ice blasting equipment I had ever used!

@kennyjack9693 2 года назад

I also think about the difference like paint … you wouldn’t wet sand and/or compound very thin “survivor” paint. There’s a time and place for a deep cut on paint, and other times where you just want to remove some haze or micro marring. Also the ice-blast is going to leave a lot more natural survivor look to the surface. If I was restoring the engine that header came off, the ice-blasted side looked a lot more “believable”, whereas you were going to need to do something to the sand-blasted one. There’s a time when you really want to strip metal, but for detailing you may just want to remove crusted on dirt and light surface corrosion, but keep a little of the patina … really nice video Larry! Keep up the great work! Love learning from these vids!

I've been a backyard non professional builder for the last 55 years, I use a combination of dry and wet sandblasting in separate blast cabinets. I also have external high volume wide nozzle blast equipment, wet and dry, for items far too large or heavy to go in a cabinet, such as automotive frames and axel/differential housings. The great thing about media blasting is that there are numerous types of media from soda to silicon carbide to Aluminum Oxide to stainless steel shot, and many more, each with their own hardness profile and reusability rating. Plus the pressure can be adjusted to whatever one deems necessary for each job. Nice demonstration, thanks. Next...laser cleaning.

isn't another big advantage of dry ice the fact that you don't fear beads getting into parts that may cause damage upon re-assembly? I know you mask engine parts before sand blasting but I always have the underlying fear that a few random pellets are hiding in some oil passage that end up scoring things horribly after a rebuild. Hence other techniques too like dipping or electrolysis.

For DIY sandblasting i used a shopvac and a old plastic tote cut a long side wall off so i had room to work insde with my hands and the shop vac i cut a hole big enough to fit the hose inside to catch about 75% of the sand and then i pulled it out and shop vac the rest up all still contained to mostly the tote, this was a very cool experiment forsure 🤘

@Kommunisator 2 года назад

@@marcryvon not entirely, dry ice is being used for detailing cars, and has been in use for ages (at least 20 years over here) in that regard. You can clean an engine bay with dry ice without any harm to the components, removing crud and oil and whatnot, without giving it an unnatural shine. Also, removing gummed up undercarriage sealant is easy and fast with dry ice given the right machinery. Plus, it is not as dirty as media blasting, especially when using it on stuff too large to fit in an enclosure. Where I live, it is mainly used on oldtimers to preserve original parts while removing all gummed up dirt and surface rust, so damaged parts can be identified and removed/repaired, before repainting the cars. You want to change as little as possible from the original stuff, or you have parts with very fine tolerances that just need to be cleaned then dry ice is your friend. If you don't care about damaging surfaces, paint or stuff like that, and can work on disassembled parts, then go for media blasting.

All for a setup that might see one or two uses a year, versus $500 sand blasting cabinet that you can change the abrasive media, tune the air pressure and reuse the abrasive. OH LOOK IT TAKES OFF GREASE!... So does an apprentice with a bottle of spray nine and a brush.

@@n3rdyg1rl11 the cost is prohibitive for anyone who is only going to do it a few times. But there are many advantages to dry ice blasting. Sure an apprentice with degreaser and a brush could do it but sometimes, you want to be able to clean places where you solvents or liquids would be harmful. The engine bay is one such area. Sure you could mask things off or remove parts but thats added labour and time. Then you also have to factor in the oxidation issue of having standing water on bare metal parts. Even if you wipe off the water or cleaners, you will always miss some. With some vintage cars, that might be what causes issues down the road.

There are definite advantages and disadvantages of ALL projectile cleaning schemes and procedures.

According to other RU-vidrs, residual sand is a problems with structures of any kind. It's just impossible to remove every grain, and it always shows up in paint.

I think you may have missed the primary difference, cost. I wanted to dry ice blast the underside of my 56 Chevy, in my new shop, but I did not want the sand and dust everywhere. However, the cost of rental of the equipment has become a big factor!

You can make a crappy but mostly useful sandbox for 5 dollars or less. Dry ice blasting I think is for very expensive equipment. And is more of a preventative then fixing a rusted object. I saw a billboard for dry ice blasting. Thanks for the video

Hello, quick question for you. I would like to remove rust (surface rust) from the underbody (undercarriage) of my Audi A8 2012 that went trough it first 8 years in snowy winters with salt (I live in Canada). What would be the solution for surface rust underbody? Im thinking dry ice before shootting the car with rust protection. Thank you
