MA Garage w/Lift for 1 day rent?
« on: January 15, 2016, 00:22:40 »
I am trying to find a garage with a lift for a day in the Worcester or Natick/Framingham, MA area. I have a company available to do CO2 (dry ice) pressurized 'blasting' of the underside of my car to remove all of the coatings and road grime on my 280SL. They are based in Worcester, but are willing to bring their equipment to any location in eastern MA.

On Colin Ferns facebook page there's a clip of one of his team de-gluing a passenger footwell using dry-ice
Scoop in
wait
scrape out

Glue gone. Brilliant - though I can imagine you'd want to avoid rubber hoses and the like. It sounds kinda fun though I'd likely open a (rusty) can of worms...

Hi James,

Yes, I've seen numerous videos. I also have a company ready that does the work. I only need someone local with a lift that I can rent for a day so I can bring in the company with the dry ice equipment to do the job.

Thanks for getting in touch.

Kind regards,

Roland

Keep in mind that although there is not grit deposited everywhere with dry ice blasting all the stuff you blast off will be deposited all over the shop under pressure.

Thanks, yes this is true. I meant that you won't have to deal with the media, like sand, or shells, or whatever.
