I found a shop this morning in Calgary that does it , and I have a 69 Camaro, 30,000 miles and likely 30 years of chainsaw oil sprayed all over the undercarriage for rust proofing with mint floor pans underneath….
The guy says he’s done over 100 cars here so far… Can’t wait to see the results.

Charley,when dry icing undercoating,does it all completely fall off the car by itself,or do you have to go over it with a tool to get the remaining off?
Can you also show us pics off the garage floor,underneath the car where it all lands? I've got a car here with about a good solid inch of undercoating,or more.

It all falls off. I'll get Gary to take a pic of the floor when it's a mess.

wow, thats pretty impressive on that blue Camaro. My 69 Z would be a great candidate for this process.

Yes it will cost a couple thousand. I think the going rate is 250.00-300.00 per hour. You won't know the final cost as some jobs are easier than others. Gary is expanding his business to make the blasting part of it a full time addition. I think his restoration side of the business is booked out for years but he should be able to handle new customers that need blasting work done.

Wow...those results are awesome. Well worth the added costs for a low mile car such as this.
Very impressed.

That looks fantastic.
The trick is having someone do it that (1) is familiar with the model of cars they are working on, and where factory undercoating was (such as in the wheelhouses, and trans tunnel on some cars), and how that material differs from aftermarket undercoating, and (2) has done enough cars already to know how adjust pressures and attack angles to take off the aftermarket undercoating without removing the factory stuff beneath it (or paint beneath it, or stickers/tags, etc.). From looking at Level One's work on a survivor car at MCACN and speaking with Gary there, and looking at these pics, it is clear that Gary's folks have the process down far better than a lot of the others I have seen. I have seen pics of other cars done by someone (whether the owner, or a generic industrial blasting company) who just nuked away and blew off most of the factory undercoating too, and other factory things that were under the Ziebart. This is much better!
