Restore metal parts to like-new condition — without damaging the surface underneath.
Ice Kings specializes in dry ice blast cleaning and vapor honing parts restoration for engine components, wheels, motorcycle frames, and classic car parts across Mesa and the greater Phoenix area. Whether you're restoring a numbers-matching engine block or prepping wheels for a fresh finish, our process strips grease, carbon, paint, and corrosion down to bare metal — with zero media embedding, zero warping, and zero secondary waste to clean up.
What We Do
Dry Ice Blast Cleaning
Dry ice blasting uses compressed CO2 pellets instead of sand, walnut shell, or glass bead media. The pellets sublimate on impact, meaning there's no secondary media to trap in bearings, threads, or crevices — just the contaminant you're removing. It's the safest way to clean:
- Engine blocks and cylinder heads
- Transmission cases
- Carburetors and intake manifolds
- Motorcycle and ATV frames
- Molds, tooling, and industrial equipment
Vapor Honing
Vapor honing combines fine abrasive media with water in a controlled blast cabinet, giving parts a smooth, satin, "OEM fresh" finish — ideal for aluminum and cast parts where you want a clean look without pitting or over-aggressive material removal. Popular for:
- Aluminum wheels
- Valve covers and intake components
- Small engine parts and motorcycle components
- Carburetors before rebuild
Why Choose Dry Ice Blasting Over Sandblasting or Chemical Dip?
| Dry Ice Blasting | Sandblasting | Chemical Dip | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damages soft metal/threads | No | Sometimes | Sometimes |
| Leaves media residue | No | Yes | No |
| Safe for assembled parts | Yes | No | No |
| Environmentally hazardous waste | No | Sometimes | Yes |
If you're restoring a numbers-matching or otherwise irreplaceable part, dry ice blasting is the lowest-risk way to get it clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does dry ice blasting damage engine parts? No — dry ice pellets are much softer than sand or glass media and sublimate on contact, so there's no risk of pitting, warping, or embedding abrasive material into soft metals like aluminum.
Can you clean parts that are still assembled? In many cases, yes. Because there's no secondary media to trap inside bearings or threads, dry ice blasting is often used on partially assembled components where sandblasting isn't an option.
