Careful, non-abrasive cleaning for vehicle undersides, engine bays, suspension components, mechanical parts and delicate surfaces — carried out by an experienced engineer with a passion for detail.
The Slab Dry Ice provide professional dry ice cleaning for vehicles, mechanical components and specialist restoration projects
A careful clean of the underside of your vehicle, helping remove road grime, dirt, grease and build-up from areas that are often difficult to access by hand. Ideal for:
Dry ice cleaning is a highly effective method for cleaning around mechanical and electrical areas where water-based cleaning may not be suitable. It allows us to work around components carefully while lifting contamination from intricate surfaces.
For cherished vehicles, harsh cleaning methods are often not the answer. SLAB Dry Ice offers a careful, considered approach for owners who want their vehicle cleaned properly without unnecessary risk to delicate finishes, factory coatings or original components.
Whether your car is a weekend toy, show vehicle, classic project, pride and joy or modern performance car, we treat every job with respect.
At SLAB Dry Ice, we provide professional dry ice cleaning for vehicles, mechanical components and specialist restoration projects. Whether you are looking to clean the underside of a modern performance car, refresh a classic vehicle, remove years of road grime, or carefully clean around sensitive components, every job is approached with care, patience and technical understanding.
Founded by Jim Love, SLAB Dry Ice brings together hands-on engineering knowledge, mechanical experience and a genuine attention to detail. This allows us to clean effectively while respecting the surfaces, materials and components we are working around.
Dry ice cleaning uses solid carbon dioxide pellets which are blasted onto a surface using compressed air. On contact, the dry ice rapidly sublimates, meaning it turns from solid to gas without leaving water or secondary waste behind.
This makes it ideal for automotive and mechanical cleaning because it can remove dirt, grease, grime and surface contamination without soaking components, using harsh chemicals, or creating abrasive damage.
Key benefits:
Jim comes from a strong mechanical and electrical engineering background, giving him a practical understanding of how vehicles and components are put together.
Every surface is assessed before cleaning begins. The aim is not simply to blast everything aggressively, but to clean the right way for the material and condition.
Dry ice cleaning is particularly well suited to cars where preservation, presentation and careful detailing matter.
Because dry ice turns to gas on contact, it leaves no water behind and reduces the need for chemical cleaning products.
SLAB Dry Ice was founded by Jim Love, combining a lifelong interest in mechanical work with a professional background in engineering. Jim’s experience across mechanical and electrical environments gives him a strong understanding of the care needed when working around vehicles, components and sensitive areas.
The Slab Dry Ice has been built on the values of quality, honesty and doing the job properly. Every project is approached with the same level of care, whether it is a full underside clean, a specific component clean, or preparation work for a restoration project.
Dry ice cleaning can be used on many areas of a vehicle, including the underside, wheel arches, suspension components, subframes, engine bays, exhaust areas, gearbox casings and other mechanical parts. It is especially useful for areas that are difficult to clean properly by hand.
No. One of the main benefits of dry ice cleaning is that it does not use water. The dry ice turns from solid to gas on contact, which makes it ideal for cleaning around mechanical and electrical areas where water-based cleaning may not be suitable.
This depends on the size of the vehicle, the areas being cleaned and the level of contamination. A small component clean may be relatively quick, while a detailed underside clean can take considerably longer. SLAB Dry Ice can give you a clearer idea once we understand what you would like cleaned.
