Here's very cool video that shows how effective dry ice cleaning can be on the underside of a 914 without removing or harming components. This company is based in CA. I wish there was a company that offered this service in the NE area.

I get the 'no blasting residue', but not sure what other special properties it has over any other kind of pressurized blasting agent. The stuff it knocks off has to go somewhere and frankly I'm a little skeptical of the video where they clean the wheel wells and the paint is shiny perfect like it just came off the line.

I understand you point and I have not heard a lot about it but with the little I have read. the material is not being abraded off (which would then make your question about not dulling or removing the underlying paint very appropriate) but rather freezes the material and the force both freezes and shatters the material leaving the underlining shiny paint. What I can't tell you is why the paint does not also freeze and shatter.
