Dry Ice Blasting Collectible Antiques!

- This particular detailing process can be exploited for the purposes of automobile restorations, as well as a normal maintenance procedure for cars as they age. One of the many uses of dry ice blasting beyond auto detailing is undercoat removal. Here we take a close up look at 2 examples of the same thing that lived very different experiences in the years since they were built. Aside from cleaning old parts, this process strips everything but the paint. Dirt, Grease, Oil, undercoat, nests, surface oxidation, overspray... anything that can stick to your car since it was built. It's a chemical-free process that quickly exposes the bare-bone truth about your project or collectible car. Undercoat can not only hide damage, but the product degrades and can actually cause rust if it's not maintained. Either way it expires, and does require maintenance.
I've collaborated with Performance Autosport for this production and I can't say enough good things about them. I knew all of you would appreciate seeing a close-up view of how this works, and Mark Lamaskin not only let me film it, he let me use this awesome equipment to even do the job myself! That way I could accurately describe exactly what this is like.
Patreon sponsored this video so that I could afford to limit the ads on the next video that follows. There's an ASMR video with no talking coming soon. This process is not cheap, but doing this certainly saved me a lot of time and difficulty restoring parts in the very near future, and all the repetition that results from it. This was an enormous time-saving gift to be able to do this! If you'd like to support my production to help me continue trying cool new things like this, you can visit / jafromobile and join the party! Every penny I earn from Patreon goes right back into production. That's exactly how it works.

Today's my mom's Birthday! Thanks mom! Wouldn't have this channel without you!
Happy birthday 🎉
Happy birthday Jafro-mom!!! 🎉🎂🍰
Happy birthday mom Jaff!
Happy birthday mama jafro
Happy Birthday Jafromom!
Wow that is fascinating and the results are incredible! Would’ve loved to do this to some of my old Mitsus. Great work as always Jafro, thank you for the excellent video!
Bro, this was such a treat! I could never afford to own any of this equipment, but it was unreal to use it! Think of all the videos I don't get to make anymore about cleaning stuff?! I suppose now I have to adapt? Thanks Tom!
I love how Mark talks. Every time he opens his mouth, the sentence is so well thought out and put together. He improvises better than many people write scripts
The very first time we talked, I picked up on that real quick! I said, "this guy's a natural, this gon' be good!" You can always tell the ones who are passionate about what they do.
Jafro, another great video with possibly the best story telling. Its early, but you could be on the road to be the Jeremy Clarkson of RUclips Mitsubishi rehab!
Bro I definitely want a 1000 acre farm. Dude's one of the good ones, he is. Anyone with Amazon Prime that didn't watch Clarkson's Farm is making a huge mistake. Forget his illustrious contribution to the automotive community... He's trying to save the UK one potato at a time. If I can ever rise to that level of film making, I'll leave this world happy.
Another banger of a video, i love watching your videos to learn what i can do to my car to really separate it from the rest. Its cool to see someone really go the distance with somthing this "new" 😂. Keep it up ✌️
Shoutouts to Performance Autosport, Mark, and everyone else there. That's the kind of business worth travelling to.
I've cleaned a few undercarriages, with scrapers & rags
On the one hand, it's rewarding work, with somewhat instant gratification
But having equipment like that would be a ton of fun. There have got to be professions that do it on a scale beyond cars. I can only imagine what kind of stuff gets restored with it
I wonder when you get the feel to know when it's "done". It seems like the kind of process you could easily keep repeating until the chassis was clean enough to eat off of
Cool equipment, shop & most importantly people
Ice Man is a great person, good teacher. Almost as good as Jafro. Tell your mom happy birthday. And thank you for the videos. Very informative and entertaining
I love the results and the overall condition of this one is amazing for its age. Your videos are also always a great motivator for myself to keep on working on my old Mitsubishis, like I'm currently doing metal work on my 1991 Colt C52, like patching a rust hole in the outer Rocker panel on the driver side, replacing parts of the outer lip on both rear wheel wells (very typical spot where those start to rust is the lip, starting from the rocker and slowly creeping upwards along the lip of the rear wheel wells due to trapped moisture) as well as replacing the end pieces of both front fenders (since you can't buy new replacement fenders for those cars anymore) that had also rusted out from the inside due to trapped dirt and moisture. Other then that Colt my 1990 Lancer C62 Fastback needs its engine resealed because the Headgasket as well as the Camshaft and Crankshaft seals are starting to fail, so it's constantly pushing out a bit of oil once it warms up but then again that car is now 34 years old and still on its original Gaskets so I think they held up well. And then there is my most recent acquisition, a 1999 Mitsu Galant Wagon with the 2.4L direct injection engine that badly needs a cleaning of the intake valves since they are so badly caked up that it barely has any idle. Well, at least my 97 Space Runner (Expo LRV) is working fine after I recently gave it a suspension "makeover" (four new shocks, new front top strut mounts, new stabilizer bushings, links and new tie rods). So I guess owning old cars really never gets boring 😅
You can always find something to do on an old car! People underestimate the damage that water can do. If a body panel fills up with dirt and grime, it basically becomes a sponge to trap moisture there and that's where it starts. The damage typically occurs *after* factory replacements are discontinued and all bought up due to collision work so fabrication becomes the answer to preserving them, and few people have the patience to do it. That's why I love seeing the half-century-old cars running around. That was someone else's gift for all of us to see. Those are the people I want to make videos for because it starts a conversation about a time when the whole world wasn't a bunch of collectivists taking them for granted, mistreating their transportation, and treating the good ones like they're disposable. All of the greatest cars that have ever been built, have already been built. Investment cars will always be expensive, and it hurts their values to drive them... but sometimes the greatest collector cars are the ones we simply enjoyed and made wonderful memories with. They weren't valuable so nobody fixed them, and scarcity takes over. But everyone still talks about them after they're gone. Or they get used in a nostalgic movie, like the Deloreans and the AMC Gremlin did. Before Wayne's World you couldn't give a Gremlin away. The memories and scarcity is what eventually makes them valuable, some cars take longer to get there, but a well maintained antique car will still always get there. Watch the auction blocks if you're curious. There's lots of stuff that gets bought simply because the people that loved them achieved some success and want to re-live their youth. I watched inflation from the 70's do the exact same thing to the 50's and 60's cars that it's doing right now to the '90's and '00 cars. I think taking responsibility for one of the good ones and maintaining it over time helps to keep us all young and happy. So what if I can buy another new $115,000 Toyota truck? How much cooler and different would it be to pull up in a 1985 Xtra Cab Deluxe? That rich Tundra owner can't do that, and he's going to look. He's going to look hard. It's a completely different flex.
This video was amazing, Mark seems like a awesome guy, love seeing his shop.
Thank for the video, never knew this kinda thing even existed! :D
Darn lucky you got out of scrubbing the floor! :)) Farley did scrub your lens though ❤
What a guy, yes! I totally wanted to be a part of it, but he preferred it that way.
This made my ride to the local u pull it. 48 miles is the closest one to my place in ny.
Awesome job & it's nice to see the operation on the dry ice & how it cleans up the cars .
Just be safe as always. I enjoy watching your videos.
Can I just say one thing ⁉Amaze-ballz!!! Dry Ice man, the best part of this is it's not some freaking hard to get chemical, that requires a license to purchase and apply. It's the equipment and the raw material. Once you got those, boo-yah!
Works on everything from delicate interior parts to industrial machinery, too. It's phenomenal, but 100% science at the exact same time.
Mannnnn, I need to do this to my colt and the GVR4. Looks so good!
Crazy cool video. I cannot believe the condition of your two Galant VR4s. They're so unbelievably clean. Its definitely insane that the black one is from IL and in that good of shape. Appreciate all the explanation and showing the reality of dry ice blasting. Your videos are always well thought out. Even this field trip format one is superb.
This car has a very unique history. Auctioned by its first-owner. Second owner bought it as the foundation for a build, drove it 1,000 miles and took it apart. Aside from the drive from ATL to IL, it spent its entire life in Georgia. That's the only reason the salt didn't get to it. The entire time in IL it was kept indoors. 3rd owner (me)towed it 1,000 miles to start putting it back together. Its story here began in my Shootout Week video from last year and the legend who gave this car to all of us to enjoy. :)
"...rags and mineral spirits"
*eyes left-right meme
Cool video! Still watching.
Great video bud
Great video! Always love your uploads jafro!
"You're as cold as ice" !
"What we gonna do about my LEGS, Charlie Murphy!?"
@@Jafromobile They never shoulda gave you @&%#€? money!
I have no way to make good use of it, but damn I want that compressor! 😮
Great video. Thanks Jafro. I'd like to do this to my 2G but I'm afraid it's gonna be really stubborn on a low mile car that spent the last 20 years in the garage. BTW, is it me or did it chip the paint off of the control arm at 18:55?
Hahah! No... I just froze it. It's not chipped. You'll see it during the walk-under... It just needed to thaw out. Humans can't live at temperatures this low, and any humidity you emit freezes to you immediately at this temperature. The gun gets colder than the dry ice because it acts like a heat sink as you're blasting. All of this pressure and expansion with media that starts out over a hundred degrees below zero F gets waaay colder. You'll notice the black undercoat turns white with ice before it flakes off. Same thing, but I really lingered there with the gun and whether through convection or me touching it, it froze. It takes a whole lot more than that to get through Detective Coating's work.
Wait...Nah I did chip it... lol. I have this paint. It's a freshly restored part... no big deal to fix it, and thank you. I found that spot again later in the video when it shouldn't be frozen. Musta clacked it with a wrench bolting the subframe back in. THANKS!
this is amazing every time I see it, I don't know if anyone here in Australia even does it.
I don't think I'll ever own a car nice enough that could benefit from getting decades of crap cleaned from under it. Maybe if I win the lottery.
With so many people commenting about it I've been looking for it and Mark snuck in with it about a year and a half ago. I'm very lucky to have this in my area. There's just so few places who can do it. A lot goes into running this equipment!
Not at all what I expected...figured it would be more violent.
Well... I left my injury out of this because some people are uh... sensitive. I described it well to my Patreons, but in short, If you hit bare skin with this, each granule of ice will remove a chunk of it in the exact same shape. You will immediately know your error. 3 weeks of pain and suffering will ensue. You can also die in the ice chest. That ice stream feels like you got hit by a truck just in that one tiny spot. Freezes it immediately, too. But it doesn't bleed, and only because it's frozen. Freezer-burned. Don't let it trick you, it's a very clever and will attack if you let your guard down. That's only what it wants you to believe. Don't listen to it. It's lying.
Hey a post!!!! Thought you drop off the edge of the world! One every 6 months! How do you do it???
LOL! Bro I post monthly. Click videos. I think your feed is broken. Twice a month lately if you're on Patreon. ;)
Come back Thursday, I'll post another one.
There's even a free one facing the public as an example of the extra content and why I don't post it here, too. I've never announced it here. I just left it there for free members and the curious. Edit: It's a full on unboxing and review of why I bought my new camera and started shooting in 6K.
@@Jafromobile cool Just been wondering if had decided give up postings ?
@@Jafromobile well been a sub for long time and have the bell on !!!!!! Not seeing or getting notifications???? Also as kid did detailing of airplanes yes they are nasty inside out!!!!! Puke and smoke inside and fuel , oil and exhaust stained out side ! Plus the dirt bugs and bird shit.
Now you gotta bring him floofy
So what did that cost? 2k? 1k for the ice, and 1k for the guy? Or is it more like 1k for the ice, and 2k for the guy to wave the magic wand and make the ice machine payments?
They typical job including the recoating with Boeshield is typically around $1500 for one car. I did 2 cars, one was easy and it worked out to be a good bit less ice, but between both cars we spent $1500 on ice. I think what's important is the example that 2 of the exact same, same-aged things can be very different jobs. One might be a lot harder to clean than the other. Nobody would have thought the second car would take 1,100 lbs of ice, but it did.
@@Jafromobile this was the burning question i had, and $1500 (plus or minus $500 probably) seems pretty reasonable considering i couldn't get it this nice in 1500 hours
@@miket8333 And right there, you just nailed it. You can't do a better job for less. $500 isn't even profit in the case you mention once you add the filters, PPE, Boeshield Simple Green and cleanup time to it. The job of cleaning up the undercoating keeps going after you roll the car out. All you do when you blast the car is move the mess somewhere else, and over a much larger area. If he does it for $1,500, *tip the guy!!!*
the crappy japanese steel in the 70's and 80's is moreso japan importing steel from the soviet union (and later china). you can see the same thing had happened with companies outside of asia post-fall of the soviet union when their ultra cheap low quality steel was suddenly available worldwide (looking at you, General Electric Transportation Systems).
Hey jafro what's an up dog?
Contrary to popular perception it is an adverb, not a noun. So your question is a little confusing to me...
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I'd feel more comfortable if they had more CO2 sensors, such as a sensor right inside the breathing mask, or an end-tidal CO2 monitor on exhaled air. I'm confident in their professionalism, so the current setup is probably fine. I'm just on the paranoid side here because levels of CO2 that are considered "acceptable" are largely based on short-term measurements such as during anesthesia. Long-term exposure effects are harder to measure, so personally I'd prefer to keep it under 900 parts-per-million when practical just to be safe.
If the sensor isn't inside the sealed mask, it's going to false positive like crazy... but that would be good to know. The way the shop is set up, flat and sloping downhill outside the bay door, and because we blast with the bay door open, it doesn't get to accumulate. More is coming to the shop, Mark said he wanted to put a big fan in the back wall, but I can't afford to buy him that one for Christmas. I'd also like to see a liquid floor like what's used in paint booths with a trap. That floor is really expensive, though... I'm sure he'll be able to afford that eventually if we bring him all the DSMs in the community that need this. :) Either that or he needs to be the guy who develops the undercoat-cleaning-Roomba and sell it to all the other DIB shops.
Unlike other anoxic environments, your body will scream very loudly at you if CO2 levels are too high. You will know. (Example: guzzle some freshly opened carbonated water, then burp through your nose.)
Well, if the level of CO2 gets up enough (physically since it's heavier than air) you'll start feeling the worst suffocation sensation. Dry ice is pretty safe cause you know when it hits you. Carbon monoxide and other gasses are dangerous cause your body doesn't do as well at detecting them.
@@RyanBissell Yep! You and @IscuAndrei both have it 100% correct. Your body will absolutely tell you about too much CO2. Carbon Monoxide however competes for the same receptors that Oxygen does, and will bond before O2 can. In a lot of cases, it'll actually replace oxygen as well. Even worse than that, is if you try to monitor blood oxygen with an SPO2 monitor, it'll give a false reading of 100% with good pleth.
CO2? Bring it on. Carbon MONoxide though, absolutely run.
I love all the discussions these videos create. The friendliest bunch of experienced human beings having having intellectual conversations like you won't find anywhere else on RUclips getting along from all over the planet. In over a decade I have moderated absolutely nothing and have never had to. I'm really not kidding about how green the grass was all the way down the hill to the creek. The truth that can be derived from nature...
