Amazing what dry ice can do. I’m sure that wasn’t cheap but the results are awesome!

I waited and waited to get this done, won a discount and did it, it's pricey otherwise for sure. I think around 3k CDN normally. Thanks!!

Awesome! Can you explain the process? I've never heard of it.

The shop had it for 3 days, pressure wash everything, dry ice blast everything, then coat anything not aluminum I think with their "elixir" coating, coat the aluminum parts in some kind of wax. Not sure if they do anything else, but it was a solid 3 days of work for them. No coating under the hood of course, just dry ice blast to clean it. No idea what the actual coating is.

Is the coating still tacky like FF or WW or is it completely dry to the touch?

Completely dry, I think the shop took all the pics wet/drying. It's less glossy dry as well.
