Donut media has avideo where they show this process. Like everyone else, I want to know the cost, especially as I live in that area!

 

$250 per hour and an 8 hour minimum at the one shop in my area.

 

I will embrace the grime.

 

I'd be thrilled with the uncleaned side in your pic

 

This was a big question I had. I will probably get out the fluid film and go inside the frame holes, this is indeed my plan (but not covering the entire underside in it).

That said, we only get snow a few times a year here in Oregon, but they did start salting the roads a few years ago due to a state law change after never salting them before (ugh... why... not a fan). Either way this isn't my winter rig so it should be good to go as is with a bit of fluid film up inside the frame. So the moral of the story is -- everyone used to buy Oregon cars because it is a no salt state. Not the case anymore.

 

Cost just over 2K (mine took 8-10 hours so the rates someone else quoted jive).

Quite high (yes make fun of me) but ... ultimately it looks great. My actual objective is that I want to do this on a couple of more valuable Porsches (a 911 Turbo and a 944 Turbo, both 1986 and low mileage). So, I wanted to see it first hand and make sure it didn't create collateral damage on a known vehicle before taking that jump.

Fun fact: they used it to clean the alcantara panel on the drivers interior door which now looks new (it wasn't bad before but...). The dry ice is surprisingly gentle on materials. Think high tech... like a computerized machine ... with a ton of settings for particle size and velocity, they tailor it to the material that's being cleaned. Cranked ALL the way up it'll actually strip paint off, all the way down you can clean interior materials with it. So part of what you pay for in these is the skill of the technician who's very careful about what and how.

 

Costly, but daggone cool. That looks unbelievable.

 

We'll then, I'll have just the door panels done.

 

everyone should do this when they are selling a d2

 

Speechless.

I may look into this on the forever Disco. Thanks for sharing.
