paintless dent removal
How does it work, is it really paintless..I have a couple dings, cause by the differential in a 18 wheeler blowing up as it passed me, scattering bearings all over the place..insurance paid up, replaced windshield, and major dents but still a couple remain....

It works really well. These guys are artists. Lots of pushing, massaging and use of other techniques. I saw one using soap stone to work a dent out.
Well worth it if the guy knows his art.
I have a couple friends around here that work under the "Dent King" franchise. They have more business than they can satisfy just working car dealers.

We sub out a guy at our shop and it saves people hundreds! It makes a huge difference in where the dent is though. If it's on a body line or a sharp dent there's not much they can do. If you post a pic I can give you an idea on if it may work or not.

Not quite the high quality I'm used to but if your not too picky or a little on the broke side, that seems to do fairly well.barch97 wrote:Yup yupKedExx wrote:If the dent is small enough, you also can try dry ice on a hot summer day. My dad told me about this method and it works

Dry Ice
Tried it, I am impressed with what it will do for a small dent, so long as there are no creases, it will be gone, as for dents with creases, took some out, not enough to really make a big difference, but it does work. No pictures, got the ice went to get the camerea and wife had it with the grandkids, so , sorry
Glad it worked out for ya. I've heard that it's more effective if you heat the area first. Either park in direct sun for a few hours or try a heat gun but I'd be afraid of damaging the finish even more with the gun.

ice
Well I live in Fla and it was 95 the day I did it, so don't think I have to worry about the heating it up, one small ding on the hood , when I put dry ice on it , it just disapeared...dropped a peice and the dog got it, blistered the tounge
