The wife works at True Manufacturing where they make commercial refrigerators many of which are all stainless steel. They are insulated using spray expansion foam, they used blasted dry ice like that to clean the stainless steel to clean off what ever foam insulation squeezes out of the gaps at seams. If you're ever in a Walmart, Dollar General or a Starbucks and you see a cooler that says "True" on the front that's what they make.
It doesn't leave any marks behind like from scraping the foam away. There is no way to remove a scratch from the stainless steel and it leaving no marks is a big deal to them since commercial refrigerators aren't cheap so they have to be perfect. It melts away leaving no residue and is obviously food safe.
I hadn't ever thought about it being used to clean the underside of a car, but I can't see why it would be a problem.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Looks like it did a great job on "dry" dirt. I wonder how it would do with oily/greasy/sticky dirt? I didnt watch the posted video, but if the individual performing the blasting is based out of California, I think he's from Germany? and knows his stuff. One of his videos takes you through the equipment involved and cost of his equipment. Some of his videos have oily greasy crusty garbage covering driveline assemblies and it cleans them beautifully. Also, I saw a comment about rubber and or plastic damage-- once again, watch all the videos related. It makes the material look brand new and does no damage.

Its well known any removal of asbestos is currently suggested with a water component to keep dust controlled, what happens to the removed paint if no liquid or abrasives are used for it to stick to? Seems one problem cured to cause another?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
