Dry ice cleaning for your car – Thorough, gentle, and environmentally friendly
Dry ice cleaning is the perfect solution for gentle and environmentally friendly cleaning of vehicles. Whether it’s the engine compartment, interior, or undercarriage – dry ice removes stubborn dirt, grease, and deposits without water or chemicals.
- Dry, residue-free cleaning – ideal for electrical and electronic components
- 20-30% faster cleaning compared to other methods
- Thorough even in tight, hard-to-reach areas – without disassembly
- Gentle on paint, seals, upholstery, and sensitive surfaces
Dry ice cleaning for cars: The revolutionary cleaning method
Dry ice cleaning offers an innovative and gentle method for cleaning vehicles. Instead of using water or chemicals, dry ice removes contaminants through cold shock and sublimation – completely without residues or abrasion. This process is especially advantageous for sensitive vehicle parts such as paint, seals, or electronics, as it neither leaves moisture nor damages surfaces.
Even hard-to-reach areas such as the undercarriage or narrow gaps are thoroughly cleaned without the need for disassembly. No other method cleans the body, engine compartment, and interior as thoroughly and gently as this – conventional cleaning agents quickly reach their limits here.
Applications: What you can clean
Our cleaning processes are ideal for the thorough and gentle cleaning of the following vehicle components:
- Engine compartment – removing oil, grease, dust, and deposits without disassembly
- Body interior areas – e.g., wheel arches, folds, cavities
- Undercarriage – removal of dirt, bitumen residues, wax, or underbody protection
- Rims and brake calipers – thorough cleaning without aggressive chemicals
- Interior components – e.g., dashboard, vents, upholstery, and carpets
- Door interiors and hinges – cleaning of grease, dirt, and old lubricants
- Trunk and spare wheel well – removal of dust, oil, or liquid residues
- Cylinder head / engine blocks (during overhaul) – preparation for maintenance or repair
- Cooling fins and ventilation ducts – removal of dust, leaves, insect residues
- Vehicle battery casing and mounts – cleaning without moisture ingress
- Sealing surfaces and assembly areas – residue-free cleaning for clean reassembly
Dry ice cleaning for cars – How it works
Every vehicle has its own challenges when it comes to cleaning – from baked-on brake dust to stubborn oil in the engine compartment. With our dry ice cleaning, we remove contaminants thoroughly and without aggressive chemicals. The process ensures that sensitive surfaces remain protected, and your car shines in top form again.
1. Precise stream on the surface
Dry ice pellets are blasted with high pressure onto paint, plastic, or metal – ideal for sensitive vehicle parts.
2. Cold shock for deep-seated dirt
The cold pellets freeze dirt, oil, and grease, allowing them to detach effortlessly from paint, engine, and undercarriage.
3. Gentle and effective removal
The dry ice evaporates instantly upon contact, lifting contaminants without mechanically stressing the surface.
4. Residue-free & dry
No moisture, no chemicals – just a flawlessly cleaned vehicle surface, perfect for paint, leather, and technology.

Your advantages of dry ice cleaning
Long-term protection
Regular and thorough cleaning maintains the vehicle’s original condition and protects it from long-term damage due to deposits, corrosion, and environmental influences. A well-maintained vehicle also has a higher resale value.
Ideal for vintage & classic cars
Vintage cars are particularly sensitive to moisture, as water can cause rust and material damage. Our dry cleaning method prevents corrosion and maintains the authentic condition of historic vehicles.
Thorough deep cleaning
Interiors contain many hard-to-reach areas where dust, dirt, and bacteria accumulate. Our method removes deep-seated contaminants without damaging sensitive materials like leather or textiles.
Dry & chemical-free method
Vehicles with sensitive electronics, sensors, or delicate wiring benefit from water-free cleaning, as no short circuits or moisture-induced damage occur. The chemical-free application also prevents unpleasant odors or harmful residues in the interior.
Residue-free application
The dry ice pellets evaporate directly upon contact, leaving no wet or chemical residues on surfaces or in electronic components. The vehicle remains completely dry.

FAQ
Can the dry ice cleaning process cause damage?
No – when used correctly, the process is absolutely gentle on materials. Dry ice is non-abrasive, contains no chemicals, and evaporates without residue. It does not attack paints, seals, or electronics as long as the correct pressure and distance are maintained.
Is disassembly necessary for cleaning?
Usually not. Thanks to the fine nozzle and precise jet, dry ice can reach hard-to-access areas such as hinges, gaps, folds, or ventilation slits – all without the need for laborious disassembly of vehicle parts.
What about cleaning the interior – is that possible?
Yes, delicate interior areas such as upholstery, carpets, dashboards, or ventilation ducts can also be effectively cleaned with dry ice. No water is used in this process – ideal for vehicle electronics and textile surfaces.
