Dry Ice Blasting

As Carpe Diem continues to grow and expand our specialist cleaning capabilities, we are proud to announce that we now offer Dry Ice Blasting & Protective Coatings.

Dry ice blasting uses frozen CO₂ pellets to safely remove grease, oil, road grime, salt, surface rust, and old undercoating without damaging factory finishes. Unlike pressure washing, it uses minimal moisture, reducing corrosion risk and making it safer around electronics and sensitive components. It leaves no blasting residue and creates an ideal surface for protective coatings.

Key Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

  • Deep cleans without damaging paint or coatings
  • Low moisture reduces rust and corrosion risk

  • Removes surface rust and exposes hidden issues

  • Safe for engine bays, wiring, and sensitive components

  • No leftover blasting media or residue

  • Ideal preparation for protective coatings and restorations

IGL Ecoclear Aegis – Clear Protective Coating

Aegis is a transparent graphene-reinforced anti-corrosion coating designed to preserve the factory appearance while protecting against water, salt, chemicals, and road contaminants.

Benefits

  • Clear finish allows visible inspection of metal and welds

  • Strong corrosion resistance

  • Hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties

  • No oily residue

  • Long-term protection without heavy buildup

Best Suited For

  • Collector and classic vehicles

  • Coastal or beach-driven vehicles

  • Owners wanting factory appearance preserved

IGL Armor – Heavy-Duty Protective Liner

Armor is a tough graphene-reinforced liner coating designed for maximum durability and impact protection in harsh conditions.

Benefits

  • Protects against stone chips, impacts, scraping, and abrasion

  • Strong resistance to moisture, salt, fuel, oils, and chemicals

  • Flexible, UV resistant, and easy to clean

  • Ideal for underbodies, chassis, wheel arches, and ute trays

Best Suited For

  • 4WDs and off-road vehicles

  • Commercial and work vehicles

  • Restoration and heavy-duty applications

Simple Comparison

  • Aegis = Clear anti-corrosion preservation coating

  • Armor = Heavy-duty physical protection liner

Dry ice blasting restores surfaces to a near factory-clean condition, while Aegis or Armor help protect that finish long-term against corrosion, wear, and environmental damage.
