What was done to this Porsche 911 GT3?
The GT3 had its rear engine bay and front compartment cleaned with dry ice, removing years of dirt and oil from the intakes, hoses, caps, strut tops and brake booster area.
Regular cleaning could not reach this grime without water and chemicals near the electrics. Dry ice does the job dry, which is why we use it on engine bays. Read more in our dry ice detailing in Dubai guide.
Why does a 911 GT3 engine bay get so dirty?
On a 911 the engine sits at the back, low down and close to the road, with air drawn in through the rear deck. Over years of driving, especially in Dubai where fine sand and dust are always in the air, that airflow carries grime into the engine bay. Heat and small amounts of oil vapour then bake it onto the intakes, hoses and covers. The front compartment and strut tops collect their own layer of dust and debris.
This car had seen serious road time, and its engine bay and underside were coated in years of built up grime. A GT3 is a car owners want to show, and a dirty engine bay is the first thing an enthusiast notices.
How was the engine bay cleaned?
The dry ice nozzle was worked over every surface, from the intake ducts and boots to the throttle body area, hoses and wiring. The pellets lift the dirt and turn to gas, so nothing is left behind.
Step by step, this is how the engine bay was done:

What is dry ice cleaning and why is it safe?
Dry ice cleaning, also called cryogenic cleaning, uses compressed air to blast pellets of solid CO2 at the surface. The pellets turn straight into gas on contact, lifting dirt and oil as they do. Because nothing is left behind and nothing abrasive touches the surface, it is safe on paint, metal and plastic, and it can be used around wiring, intakes and seals where water and degreasers should never go.
- No water, so nothing to dry out of connectors.
- No chemicals running onto rubber or plastics.
- No residue left in the engine bay.
- No abrasion on finishes or coatings.

Is dry ice cleaning safe for a Porsche engine bay?
Yes. It is non-abrasive and leaves no moisture or residue, so it is safe on paint, metal, plastic and wiring. That makes it a better choice than pressure washing for engine bays.
