How do you tidy up Comstar wheels?
DomP:
Surely blast media is no different to the build up of road grit/grime?
Laverda Dave:
I watched a very old episode of Tyrrell's Classics the other day. He had in the workshop a very, very rare Lamborghini V12 engine that needed cleaning. Apparently it is the only engine in the world where the engine and gearbox is one casting. He called a company that used high pressure dry ice with amazing results. The process was actually filmed and it was very quick. Being dry ice it just evaporated leaving no residue or blast media. Naturally this isn't a DIY process but maybe worthwhile investigating.

Good idea Dave.
I've seen that, on a different show, and very effective it was too. Even rubber, plastic and things like loom components were cleaned without any apparently detrimental surface consequences.
Looks ideal as a treatment and to save the time of manually accessing all those difficult areas Ted.

Also saw it on Ant Ansteads Born Mechanic show. They restore cars to supposedly fund house renovation for his parents. Thet used it to restore some oak framing and I think on car too if i recal correctly.
Also Jonny Smith featured in on his Late Brake show.
Seems a brilliant technology....

Never heard of this dry ice blasting before sounds interesting!
