At Preserve Protect, we provide specialist vehicle dry ice blasting designed to clean, restore, and preserve vehicles without water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive damage.
Whether you own a classic Porsche, performance vehicle, campervan, 4×4, or cherished daily driver, dry ice blasting allows us to safely remove decades of contamination while preserving original finishes, factory markings, and delicate components.
Unlike traditional cleaning methods, dry ice blasting uses frozen CO₂ pellets that instantly sublimate on contact. This means dirt, grease, road grime, old underbody coatings, and loose corrosion can be removed without introducing moisture or causing damage to the underlying surface.
For owners who value originality and long-term preservation, it is one of the most effective cleaning methods available.
Dry ice blasting has become increasingly popular amongst collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts because it delivers exceptional cleaning results while protecting the vehicle underneath.
Benefits include:
Many customers are amazed at what is revealed once years of contamination are removed. Original chassis markings, factory inspection stamps, and hidden corrosion often become visible for the first time in decades.

Once the vehicle is completely clean, we can carry out any required rust treatment before applying Dinitrol cavity waxes and protective coatings.
This combination of dry ice blasting and Dinitrol rust protection provides one of the most comprehensive preservation solutions available.
Our process effectively removes:
The process exposes the true condition of the vehicle while preserving the original substrate beneath.
This makes it particularly valuable for classic cars and performance vehicles where originality is important.
We regularly work on:
Because dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, it allows us to clean sensitive areas without damaging paintwork, coatings, wiring, rubber components, or factory-applied finishes.

Once cleaned, the true condition of the vehicle becomes visible, allowing us to identify any areas requiring further attention.
Where appropriate, we follow up with rust treatment, Dinitrol cavity waxes, and underbody protection systems.
