There is undeniably something magical about cleaning a car with a pressurized stream of dry ice pellets: the dirt appears to be falling off on its own, without abrasion, rubbing or chemical foam involved. Look at this 1977 Porsche 911 S undergo the treatment, and you may also end up enchanted.
I AM Detailing, the company responsible for the job, emphasizes that the method is much more practical than the more conventional ones when it comes to cleaning the underside of a car. First, it does not lead to scratching or major discoloration. Second, it leaves no residue that would require another round of removal. Upon colliding with a surface, the pellets burst into gas and dissipate, while any dirt stuck to it simply falls to the ground.
In the eight-minute video, the detailers examine the gorgeous white body of the sports car and decide to focus on the bottom instead. Our favorite part is when they discover that the muddled-grey shock absorbers are actually vivid red, just completely concealed under a layer of grime.
At a recent auction, the properly restored Porsche 911 found a new owner for $77,777 USD.
