If it is pure dry ice, I wouldn't think there would be any clean up but the paint debris.
Full Version: You guys doing total restorations should look at this.
I heard about this a few years ago. It looks really cool.
Wonder how it does on rust?
not sure my compressor is up to the task...

It's not just the compressor. You need a complete set-up. Kind of popular in Europe.
Works very well on thick underbody gunk. Does not attack rust.
A complete car (914), would cost about $1500-2000, converted from Euros.

Yup wrote some patents for one of the dry ice blasting product companies. The airline industries and the Air Force use them a lot to change plane paint schemes. One engineer told me that you can go down one paint layer at a time, and the Smithsonian loves them for restoring those old planes. Seems the one layer at a time trick exposes stuff like old WWII graffiti, and manufacturing marks under the paint layers.
We used that method to clean the Kepler Spacecraft Primary mirror:
