DryIce cleaning

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

So I bought a dryice blaster for my shop and recently started using it on some "government work." I blasted the webers for my 2002 inside and out and it cleaned them up very well, very quickly.

This weekend, I brought the machine along with a compressor and 500lbs of dryice to my friends garage. He has a '49 Packard Convertible that he has a "Twin H" style motor he is dropping it. Before doing that, he wanted to clean and detail the engine bay and the front end. He was scrapping it by hand. The dryice blaster did wonders to the 60 years of road cured grime on the underside. It's an awesome machine and I'm going to do the underside and engine and engine bay of all of my cars and toys this winter and spring.

I figured I'd share this with you guys because anyone who has wrenched on a greasy old machine or better yet has cleaned one, would really appreciate this. It's crazy effective, you'd have to see to believe it.

the dirty side:

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
