Motorcycle restoration with dry ice technology
Restore your motorcycle with dry ice technology. Deep, safe, and efficient cleaning for any type of motorcycle.
Motorcycles Deserve Special Care
Whether you have a classic motorcycle you want to restore or a modern model that needs deep cleaning, dry ice technology delivers results that traditional methods cannot match.
Why Dry Ice for Motorcycles?
Superior Accessibility
Motorcycles have many hard-to-reach areas: between fins, around the engine, under the tank. The dry ice jet reaches everywhere.
Preserving Details
For classic motorcycles, preserving original details is essential. Dry ice cleaning doesn't remove metal or finishes - only contaminants.
Paint Preparation
If you're planning a repaint, dry ice cleaning provides the best surface preparation, without chemicals that could affect new paint adhesion.

Frequently asked questions
Is dry ice cleaning safe for classic motorcycles?
Yes. Dry ice does not remove base metal or original finishes, only contaminants. For classic motorcycles with chrome parts or period-correct paint, we adjust pressure to minimum levels (2-4 bar) to protect original details. We have successfully cleaned motorcycles manufactured from the 1960s onward.
How much does motorcycle cleaning cost at Arctic Works?
Motorcycle engine cleaning starts from 200 RON (approximately 40 EUR), and a complete cleaning (engine + frame + components) from 400 RON (approximately 80 EUR). Pricing varies based on size, condition, and job complexity. For full restorations, we offer personalized evaluations and quotes.
How long does a motorcycle restoration take with dry ice?
A quick cleaning (engine + wheels) takes 1-2 hours. A complete cleaning requires 3-4 hours. For classic motorcycles in advanced states of degradation, the restoration preparation process can take 4-6 hours.
