Many JDM owners and collectors ask: Is dry ice detailing worth it? The short answer? Absolutely. Unlike traditional pressure washing or chemical cleaners, dry ice blasting uses compressed CO₂ to safely remove dirt, grime, and oxidation without damaging delicate OEM finishes.
💨 Why It’s Essential for a DC5 Integra:
✅ Safe on factory parts – No water, no harsh chemicals, no damage.
✅ Ideal for engine bays & undercarriages – Restores hidden components without scrubbing.
✅ Preserves JDM authenticity – Keeps original Mugen and Spoon parts intact.
✅ Perfect for track and collector cars – Removes years of grime without stripping paint.
🚗 For a high-performance legend like the Spoon Integra DC5, dry ice detailing is the best way to restore and protect its legacy.
The Honda Integra DC5 engine is famous for its K20A powerplant—an engine that screams at 8,400 RPM and delivers razor-sharp throttle response. But years of track use, heat cycles, and storage left it covered in oil, dust, and oxidation.
🔧 DC5 Integra Engine Detailing Steps:
🏆 The Result? A race-ready engine bay that looks as clean and precise as the day it rolled out of Spoon’s factory.
As we worked on the undercarriage, something incredible happened—we uncovered hidden Mugen parts buried under years of grime.
✨ What We Found:
✔ Mugen & Spoon suspension components
✔ Custom titanium Spoon exhaust system
✔ Racing bushings and bracing in near-mint condition
✅ Rust-free, clean suspension components
✅ Polished Spoon exhaust system
✅ Factory-fresh look, free from track grime
This is exactly why dry ice detailing is a must-have for collectors and racers—it preserves rare parts and reveals hidden gems.
The Integra DC5 interior was built for one thing: driving at the limit. But after years of track days and storage, its once-pristine cockpit needed serious attention.
🛠 How We Restored It:

Yes, I’ve owned this car for over a decade and never took good care of it, or cared too much for it, because at the end of the day it’s just a race car. It has collected many battle scars plus on top of all the dust from being abandoned on a corner of the body shop for years.
