    It's pretty amazing that dry ice can be such a powerful cleaner yet be so gentle on everything like the delicate electrical connections/wires

      @IAMDetailing  ปีที่แล้ว +15

      It truly is! You can make it super gentle or you can strip paint with it if you wanted. Unreal

      ​@@IAMDetailing Which OEM company's product line, do you use? Do you make your own dry-ice pellets onsite with CO2 or do you have the dry ice deliveted and then your machine extrudes or macerates for use?

    Nice work!! I have an 89 AMG 560SEL in midnight blue so appreciate this golden era of the 80's (also own 2 x SEC coupes) & good to see you re-waxed the underneath with the protective sealant.
    Glad those wheels were swapped out for the AMG/Oz 3 piece at the end.

    • @IAMDetailing
      @IAMDetailing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Dry ice cleaning is amazing. But I have a question: Does it clean physically - like sand blasting, because it is a solid - or does it clean because it is cold?
    It seems to also be an INSTANT degreaser - with no chemicals?
