Hasn’t DealDash been accused of just about every unethical business practice under the sun? It’s pretty whack to advertise for any of those penny auction sites, but one with a 5 year old bad reputation? Don’t support this sponsor, guys 😅
Keep upvoting this, save some of our car fam some $$$ to spend on parts instead of getting ripped off 😁
Yeah I was surprised to see that 😂
Exactly! What the hell, Donut Media? This is not good. Don't go accepting sponsorships from any random shady website!
Came here for this. Not a good idea to remove something that's meant to protect your car from rust.
@@litetaker MO MONEY BABY!
not a great look. cheapens the donut brand.

WAKE UP, ITS THE FIRST OF THE MONTH
"Dry ice cleaning has three simple properties..."
I 100% expected him to say:
'1. Dry, 2. Ice, and 3. Cleaning...'
These cheap vs expensive videos are awesome. Its like snack sized hi-low
Hi-Lo lite

We use that gold underseal on almost all our cars where I live (island, always close proximity to salt water). It protects against rust and corrosion for about 10 years once applied. It's called Dinitrol. Notice how all the metal was in amazing condition after they sprayed it off with the dry ice, so should be a good indicator to re-do the spray :)
California weather my son
Me and the California homies don’t play that fu-fu lame shit
We have a bunch of different ones here in Norway to protect against road salt. Mercasol, Lanolin, Tectyl, Fluid film, Dinitrol, etc. etc...
Not necessary in California though. No salt, dry heat.
Id say it depends where you live or how the car is shipped
You should've tested the Harbor Freight pneumatic engine cleaning gun. It is basically a sandblaster except instead of sand, it sprays whatever cleaning liquid you choose. (I use Sams Club degreaser) It gets similar results to pressure washer, but uses far less liquid so that it is safe around car electronics. You can also turn off the liquid and transform it into a compressed air gun to dry off parts.
Normally I'd want to let degreaser soak into the grease and grime for a while before trying to blast it away.
Use zep purple degreaser. Let it soak and then brush it away. Will clean things better than you have ever seen.
This is good for the tight areas for sure. For the large areas or any plastic covered engines, I'd just use a foaming degreaser, some brushes, and then rinse.
I've used brake cleaner through one of those before, back when I worked as oil change tech. Great way to clean up an engine bay that someone double o-ringed.
Is it safer then simple green? Shit wrecked the aluminum under my hood it was a royal pain to get it back to shine
Just wanna say for those of us that can’t afford the $50,000 dry ice gun or don’t want to spend $500 every time you get a cleaning, a decent pressure washer is worth it’s weight in gold.
The dry ice blaster allows you to clean ALL surfaces without worry of damaging fragile parts or introducing water into engine components unlike a decent pressure washer.
@@dryiceblaster sold! I'm going to go buy one right now!
The point is it's unaffordable, and for the same price as having someone clean your engine bay you could buy a really decent pressure washer, which can be invaluable for home DIY.
And a friend with a pressure washer is even better.
@@dryiceblaster been pressure washing my trucks engines for 30 years. Never a problem if you know how.

You guys should test 3 different price points on the different types of welding machines.Keep up the quality content love these videos
@@rickrolled3666 lol
Yessssss I would love this since I'm in welding school
Ngl a novice welder won't notice the quality of a machine besides convenient features and reliability.. and honestly as long as that hoe is consistent you should be able to lay down a good bead no matter what.. in my opinion ofc, but who tf cares :/
@@DayFour2019 what hoe the one robo fake spam account on the first comment of mine?
lol
$250 an hour for results like that!? I’d totally pay $250-$500 to get my engine bay to look almost brand new
lol
Yeah that's pretty reasonable. When you compare it to a regular professional detail (probably costing somewhere around a couple hundred bucks), and doing it yourself (will literally never be able to get it that clean), that's not bad for a one-time deal.
Yeah fr I’m broke as shit but I’d maybe even save up to get my engine bay clean like this
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists purple power is the best cleaner ever! I use it for work every day
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists Dumping gallons of chemicals and oil while you do it into the water table 👌
i've watched numerous videos with the dry ice cleaning and it's just so satisfying to see lol
Man that dry ice gun reminds me of playing powerwash simulator lol
Dry ice is amazing. Two or three times a year we do a full clean on massive printing presses. Strong cleaners are a nogo on all the sensitive parts, wiring, plus we can't risk it getting into the oil/bearings/water. And with cakes on dried ink covered in commercial uv coatings, nothing short of a chisel and EZ off even makes a dent into it... but dry ice just blasts it away. No parts are hurt, just chunks of ink to sweep away when done. ITS AMAZING and fun just to see it all blasted off. We use a much bigger commercial machine tho, it's insanely loud -> sounds like a big air line blowing off a commercial compressor a few times a second.
Not to mention many industrial companies are looking to reduce their carbon footprint by removing chemicals, water, and other accessories needed to clean that end up in landfills (wire brushes and rags...we're looking at you!) Since dry ice is made from recycled CO2 it is environmentally sustainable and helping industrial companies achieve massive amounts of reduction in the carbon output. Sure, a can of chemicals may be "cheap" but when you factor in everything that goes into the production, transportation, and recycling of the chemicals and/or waste water it adds up quickly! Glad to hear you enjoy using a dry ice blaster!
imagine using liquid nitrogen and sandblasting at the same time
Work in a weld factory and we use dry ice to clean spatter off the jigs regularly. It is posable to burn through wires and plastic components if you're not careful. For paint, if there are chips, cracks or bad adhesion, the dry ice will peal that paint up.
250/hour with the smallest nozzle ever... I see the strategy
It works on an adiabatic expansion if I'm correct. The nozzle can't be too big for it to be effective. Pressure is also inversely proportional to nozzle area, making it bigger would be counterproductive
for some of the larger flat surfaces they had a wider nozzle.
I am not defending them. If I took my car I would negotiate a total price for the specific car and a pick up date.
I don't care if it takes them 30 minutes or 5 hours.
@@aquaphoenixx that's not how it works. If it takes them 5 hours, that adds to their overhead and cost of performing the service. So they charge accordingly. Learn a few things about basic business before making dumb comments.
@@RSpracticalshooting you must be fun at parties.
The whole thing went over your head.
No need for me to insult you.
@@aquaphoenixx Guess we found the guy who's never actually got his hands dirty or charged by the hour for work.
In Pennsylvania rust is very common, you should do a video on rust preventative measures I do undercoating for the company I work for and we use a wax base product that never dries it would be nice to see different types of products and see how well they hold up
Donut has some of the best ads on the interwebz, genius idea, almost never skipped one of their ads.
We live in the golden age of donut media.
Yall did great with hiring Justin, he fits in so well with everybody else. He's fun to watch
He isn't, he's extremely dull. Even more than Nolan.
@@TheSuperBoyProject exactly, id say job was their best new hire, followed closely by jerry in second. altough i think they should bring aaron into more videos, since hi low season 1 ive been craving more aaron screentime.
@@TheSuperBoyProject Whatever you say 🤷♂️ it doesn't get more subjective than entertainment
i really appreciate how far justin has come as a host!
I love watching these guys while at work
Bruh can we just appreciate how hard the team at donut work to produce these vids nearly everyday good job lads!!
not really that hard work compared to other jobs out there
Oven cleaner is cheaper and works better
We have that dry ice machine at work, for blasting buildup out of curing oven piping. The milwrights especially like it for blasting adhesive residue off of sanding drums since it freezes and chips the glue off - no scrubbing with nasty solvents.
Need more of these please
My god
I love the NSX
Thanks Zach for mentioning this legendary supercar💙😍
That dry ice thing gives really good results, but it looks quite slow, especially with that small nozzle. It would. take forever to do the whole underbody.
Why do you think people who do it charge by the hour lol
@@RSpracticalshooting yeah and that's why this service costs like 5 grand per car
i’ve worked dry ice blasting in the oil field/industrial places like a wood pulp mill and there is so many different fittings and sizes of hose… they could easily get a bigger nozzle and chew through more dry ice and do it quicker. but time is money so ofc a company like this will use small nozzles and take hours
Don't forget to account for the time it takes to disassemble and reassemble parts for cleaning with traditional methods! With dry ice blasting, you won't have to go to those lengths, especially to get into tight areas.
What a great way to start a Friday! Thanks guys for another great video! Might I also mention that this is the only channel that I am equally entertained by the promotions! You guys go the extra mile and make that stuff so funny
Dry ice looks like a DREAM machine for anyone restoring cars. Too bad they’re so expensive, would love to have one
One the funniest ad ever seen till now. This one i didn't skip it😂😂😂
We have that exact dry ice machine at my work. A big part of the reason they charge so much per hour is the cost of the dry ice. With the bigger nozzle, you go through over a hundred pounds an hour and the ice isn't cheap.
Someone else mentioned that it looks slow and yes, it's super slow. We use it for cleaning industrial sized roasters that get a bunch of oil and grease burned on and it can take minutes to clean a 1 foot square if it's built up, even with the big nozzle. Insanely loud, too. It blasts out at like 100psi. Fun to use, though.
Glad to hear you enjoy using our PCS 60!
@@dryiceblaster didn't expect to see you guys here
Detailers would love this ALOT.
We've seen explosive growth in the detailing / restoration market!
@@dryiceblaster Give me one!
R20 did a vehicle for Me. I can't say enough good things about Matt and R20 Motorsports. I realize that this process is more expensive than other alternatives, but you can not compare the results with the other processes. Even the restoration on the old rubber moldings of my truck were incredible. Great video!
Theres a guy on youtube has a channel dedicated to detail cleaning with dry ice blasters. His work is mesmerizing to watch and the kind of cars he gets there are just top notch. I am detailing i think is the name.
Sarah-n-Tuned did a video a couple weeks ago in which she dry ice blasted the undercarriage of her 1983 Audi Ur Quattro. It looked brand new afterward. The video's really thorough and informative.
You can rent these machines, but I have no idea how much that is. The one company that does rentals near me doesn't have pricing info on their website, just a number to call for inquiries.
Definitely seems like a "If you have to ask...." kinda scenario.
If he was Jerry instead of Jobe, he would’ve won the game show like usual
That’s what I was thinking
we use dry ice to clean tooling in our industrial weld shop. thing will cool down Slagle buildup on tooling so much it practically pops off. fun to do tbh
Year 20XX of thanking Donut for putting a yellow bar timer for their advertised segments. Thanks Donut!
But with dry ice does the vehicle have be at certain temperature and does it cause any swelling or cracking of components such as older bolts bushings etc.
No. Obviously, with older plastics there's always a chance of damage with any physical cleaning method. Old plastic is brittle. Still, I wouldn't expect it to damage anything.
Day 2 of me reminding the guys to put the wish supercharger on the cabrio.
They did the thing!
Yeah I know! I watched it yesterday!
Just bought a B16A3 today from Japan, getting it dry iced is on on the top of my list now!
Dry ice cleaning is used very often in industry. I work at Brembo and that's what we use to clean the machines.
What kind of machines are you using this on to clean? Just curious for the audience!
@@dryiceblaster we use it on the mold, core, and melt machines, can't go into too much detail without exposing too much lol
@@ryanvarney159 understood! We love seeing all the various applications and industries our machines are used in.
Good thing there was a wider nozzle that other one looked like it would have taken forever to clean large surfaces
@Jane.. 💞 Reported for spam :)
Is it really a good idea to remove the grease under the car? Now the exposed "clean" parts could rust
If it's dirty you'd probably reapply some sort of clear coat to protect it afterwards, which shouldn't be too expensive if you're already paying to clean it afterwards
That undercoating was looking pretty worn out. Best to strip it all back and reapply. Not to mention, there are better products on the market now than there were back in the 1980s.
This is southern California. There is no rust.
@@gr6e wow I didn't know being in Cali automatically makes materials resistant to environmental degradation
Dude in the backward cap is a true artist. You can tell when he could draw a pic of himself, even with a dry ice gun.
Waking up to a new donut video... Best way to start the day! You guys are awesome. Keep up the great And entertaining content bros!
I've used one of those dry ice machines before and they work AMAZING. That was back in 2000... I'm shocked that they still cost 50g.
Glad to hear you had an awesome experience with dry ice blasting! A lot has changed within the technology of our machines since 2000. For instance, this particular machine offers the ability to select your dry ice particle size anywhere from 0.3mm for delicate surfaces to 3.0mm for more stubborn contaminants.
I bet you could get a chinese built one cheaper, probably even based off the same IP, China is doing great things for the working people of the world.
@@poiu477 yeah by ripping off other companies work who have to raise the price of their product because of all the RND involved with inventing a product as complex as this one. China is notorious for not following laws around patents. This has cause many companies to go out of business due to loss of sales.
@@TurkeyOW Yes because communism is the future, information should be free, and IP is an abomination and holds society back in exchange for imaginary money points.
@@poiu477 we hold over 250 patents worldwide. Our machines are actually intended for the working people of the world as they were first introduced for industrial cleaning processes. It just so happens that automotive detailers have seen more benefit in dry ice blasting than any other method. We've had plenty of customers come to us after using other brands because the results of other brands just weren't as good.
Insane competition right there
Dry ice blasting, it is an abrasive to remove paint and rust, but also for oil, grease, and other grime; it freezes the surface causing contraction and loosening the dirt. Freezing the oil helps remove it, but when all is done, there is no media to clean up. This process is super clean and you just sweep up the paint and dirt when you are done. Sand and glass bead make an enormous mess to clean up.
Living in Europe where rust is _very much_ an issue it was painful to watch that wax fading away from that lovely E31 😃
Infotainment at its finest. Great video guys👍🏽
I honestly did not know about Dry Ice Blasting/cleaning....But Now I want it - Cool. Great video.
That shop is gorgeous. The lights under the lift…smart
We use a dry ice blaster at toyo but ours is like this thing’s grandad. Sounds like a tornado from a 100 yards out and is A LOT stronger. We clean adhesive machines with it.
What happens to the dirt particles that get blasted off with the dry ice? Is there a vacuum nearby or does the engine bay get a shot of compressed air and vacuum afterwards?
We use those dry ice blasters to clean mould off wooden house structures! Pretty cool stuff
Awesome we just got one of these machines at work for cleaning sealant out of the inside of fuel tanks on large aircraft! I am excited to try it and see how well it works!!
That's awesome! How have the results been so far?
@@dryiceblaster so far its working pretty great although it's quite dangerous as it displaces the oxygen in the tank with carbon dioxide
Always be sure to wear a CO2 meter on your person and do your best to ventilate the area with a fan or something.
@@dryiceblaster yup we have supplied air masks we use and supplied air to the tank and powered vent to pull the fumes out of the tank. As jet fuel fumes will also displace oxygen in the tanks
Having exposed metal underneath the car could make it want to rust?
Most people looking to remove the cosmoline and expose the metal are doing so on cars that are stored in garages and taken to car shows, not their every day driver.
They're set up in California, not to much of an issue there
While you guys did the underside my mind kept screaming: RUST ME!!! Might look ugly, but is there anything preventing rust to those parts in the underside? I ask cuz salty air where I live loooooves everything metal.
There’s a DIY shop near me that had a bunch of lifts and equipment, and something they just recently got is a dry ice blaster.
Unless I’m mistaken they don’t charge any more for it than for a lift or flat bay, which is 44/hour Canadian
Never once cleaned the wheels. I was looking forward to that since it's the thumbnail pic for the video. Still really cool!
That dry ice does an amazing job but its a bit pricey 😂. I mean they do have cheaper versions of the dry ice machines that work great. Its definitely time consuming also. lol
Also is a SLOOOOOOOW PROCESS IT SEEMS, PRESSURE WASHER WITH DE GREASER.
@@NoWr2Run yeah it does. I actually have that pressure washer they used. Ive been detailing for over 15 years now and would like a dry ice machine for the extreme clean and its low pressure and safer
@@irregularf150 I guess for touch up it would be better but doing the WHOLE CAR, SCREW THAT.
@@NoWr2Run lol yeah itd only be worth it on special ones. They do also have wide tip attachments which helps a bit.
@@irregularf150 AGREED, ONLY ON SPECIAL ONES.
Deal dash is a straight up scam. So disappointed in Donut for pushing this. Not even going to watch the video now 😕
I did the same
I miss doing dry ice blasting. Best job I ever had. Used to clean ethanol plants.
LOL, the music choice is so perfect!
The first part was slightly incorrect. Hydrophilic molecules love water and will attach to the water. Hydrophobic molecules do NOT like water and will then prefer the oil.
A "pay to bid" sponsor, y'all have now officially sold out. Pass.
best duo ever, make a show toghter
Remember donut everyday and no paywall? Miss those days.
The rust results were amazing
that 8 series is one of my favorite cars
We had a auto repair shop in Inglewood on Centinela and La Cienega Boulevards where Starbucks is currently. It was a foreign auto repair shop called
20th Century Auto repair. We sold the shop and moved to Oregon. Best deal ever.
We had a dry ice machine at this place I worked at and it’s amazing how quick and clean it got these dirty grimy machines and cleanup was a lot easier by just sweeping it up. Wish more companies would use dry ice to clean machines.
A well known tire manufacturer uses these exact ones for miss cures in the presses. There are also much larger stationary machines that are used to remove the surface rust caused by storage. These things are worth their weight in gold.
Honestly the dry ice cleaning is so worth it for a project cars ❤
Love the show, I was expecting a tire and wheel to be cleaned in this because of the thumb nail !
Used one on machinery at work, dry ice that is.
Poked holes in about half the smaller plastic air lines.
Older cars with brittle vacuum lines could be iffy
Donut the only channel I watch the ads for
4:13
S/o to the Volvo S40 in the background repping Jobe with it's 1.9 turbo. I miss mine 😭
Those seventies ,eighties and nineties European cars , like Porsche and BMW all had that cosmoline . That is what is actually preserving the surfaces all these years . Dry ice blasting makes you look like a superhero when actually it is the cosmoline that did all the work over the years . Those results aren't always typical . Dry ice is amazing ,but a good pressure washer, especially heated and degreaser works just as well , especially on those older European cars .
Luv these guys ❤
You guys really did a great thing
It would be super cool to see you guys wrap a car as a diy or don’t
That's wild! I had no idea this was even a thing!
Nice video as always Jeremiah!
You have the best commercials
We need a video dedicated to Jerry and him riding his bikes.

U know they still get paid the same amount whether u watch the ad or not 😭
I for sure have cut through wires with a dry ice machine I used to use when I was a computer programmer for Harry and David’s pear sorting machine
The add might have been the best part of this video😁
Lol at Jerry playing Jobe in the ad. Either Jobe got a stunt double or he's out with diarrhea again 🤣
That is a sick (good) Dodge A100 pickup at that shop.
every vid is a banger
Thanks for the “I would clean my pop up headlight NSX if I had one comment”. I’m fortunate to finally have one and was thinking on having this service performed……looks so awesome when a car is mint clean underneath
yes I do this, it works. John good luck. my wife doesnt get it yet but thats the point!
Use ice blasters every day to clean the boxes for core making vehicle castings they work like a charm
I bet it's a bit of a relief from the hot temperatures experienced on the shop floor!
Any recommendations for more power I can gain in my 158hp 8th gen civic lx sedan? I’m looking to get around 300hp to 400hp,
My budget is about $1500 to $2000
I hit mine with a wire brush on a drill , hard, then aluminum polish, looks awesome 👌
Watching you clean with the dry ice, and Markiplier with Power Wash Simulator, I have determined, this process is just something any human can enjoy, but no clue why. Maybe it's seeing the contrast
I can tell team low got some really nice and clean valve covers
