No, but that's awesome. Seems like it could have some real potential in the restoration business. I wonder what effect it would have on rusted panels? I see it having definite advantages over blasting or chemical (um) stripping techniques. I would venture a guess that cost may be prohibitive, but if someone had the equipment set up, and figures out how to minimize wasting the dry ice (evaporation), it would be a time saver, make for a cleaner job, and easier cleanup. Did you ever find any more information on it?

When I said cleaner, I meant you would likely stay cleaner that you would have scraping/wire brushing/wiping, and I think cleaning the area afterwards would be easier, if the stuff was still somewhat cold when you swept it up...
