Jtek offer a 1 day blasting service but stress that it will not be a total clean, perhaps 65% clean.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Topaz in Park Royal and if you are prepared to travel outside of London Jtek in Towbridge offer dry ice cleaning. The videos on the Jtek website certainly look impressive.

Ideally around London area, but willing to travel out also.
Thank you
If it's anything like ours it won't need it. Despite having done 67K over country lanes and roads over 14 years the underside of out 997, excluding fasteners and cross members, looked like new when we removed all the under trays and arch liners. Just a quick jet wash was all that was required. Gave everything a coat of Bilt Hamber UC then buttoned it back up for another 14 years.
Edited to add: ah, looks like the latest detailing thing so ignore me.

Interesting observation...
Guys like Topaz, JTEK Auto and others, are almost 3.5x the price of Blast Smith AND take 4-5 days...whereas he says 1 day is sufficient. I was expecting some price differences...but it seems the big shops are are really pricey.

What about all the unnecessary CO2 released to atmosphere............
Depends on use but around 20kg per hour!
That said, it is not burning a carbon store that is millions/thousands/tens of years old so technically not new CO2. However it is a by-product of industrial processes that may involve this, and which may be sequestered in other ways if not flogged off as dry ice and made someone else’s emission.

Will do. Have decided on Blast Smith
Hi - did you get the job done by Blast Smith and if so how much was it for the dry icing and underseal protector (I am assuming that was on the cards). Also what Porsche was the job done for?
Let's not forget you get what you pay for. Jtek offer a 1 day blasting service but stress that it will not be a total clean, perhaps 65% clean. At least a 2 further days are needed to get to all that dirt and grime in the intricate areas.
Then there's the machine they use. All machines are not equal and Jtek claim to use the safest machine available. You pay your money and take your choice.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
