No more butt crack on your quarter panel! :razz:

Old school fix but it does work well. Dry ice is another method that works too.

Folks, let's keep on subject and cut out the remarks that have nothing to do with the serious subject that was posted. We have members and guests that come to the Forum to learn, not to plow through this type of back and forth banter while searching for the nugget of wisdom they may take out of the subject matter. The last serious question was about a "dry ice" method. That would also be great information to know, but who remembered that post after 8 to 10 irrelevant postings. Just be aware that too many of these type posts will earn the member a warning to cease, and the penalties for non-compliance are not user friendly...............Ken

Donny,
I tried the dry ice removal method and it seemed to work at first. But when the hood got hot it came back. That is also what the guy in the video said. Kind of pissed me off because I thought I had fixed the dent until I came back to it later and saw it reapear.:dontknow:

I've heard the same thing. It will pop the dent, but it will not erase the memory in the metal, and it will eventually come back. Maybe not quite as bad, but it will come back and be noticeable.

Its not quite as bad as freezing your beer,:sarcasm: but dry ice will also freeze burn you hands to the point it can blister and leave scars. For anyone who wants to try this, do wear gloves. The dry ice it to be wrapped in a towel or rag anyway.

Forget the dry ice, pony up the $75 and have the Dent Wizard remove the dents. Well worth it. http://www.dentwizard.com/content/117/consumer_home.aspx

Just go to autozone and buy a pops-a-dent kit. I've used it before and it works great. Just dont let the glue sit too long on weak paint or it will pop it right off with the dent too lol

Northern Tool & Equipment sells a "Pneumatic Dent Puller". It's 21.26" long with a 3-lb sliding hammer and includes 4"" and 6" pads. It's only $179.99:shock::crazy:! Just FYI.
