Very cool process (no pun intended) looks like it works fine on newer cars. Ah, the memories of scraping undercoating on my '67 belvedere with a propane torch, and scraper.

Make sure you're wearing a fresh air system hood when you decide to do it....

The torch, and scrape method is already done. Two fans on high, side garage door open as well as the garage door itself.

Oh, that. No I won't mess with that. If I could do it all over again I wish I could have "dip" cleaned everything. Redi Strip in Tampa, Fl shut down a long time ago. So media blast it was. Yes, they ruined my hood. Lucky enough to find a rust free dent free replacement.

Dry ice can be great on delicate surfaces. Plus, there's no abrasive to clean up as it sublimates into the air. Boeing used dry ice for blasting when they restored the Dash-80, original 707 prototype.
