Good stuff. I also have a toilet plunger i use for dent removal that works pretty well. Just moisten and latch on, and quickly pull out. Doesn't work iwth all dents though.

I tried the second one but haven't been able to get it to work. I think i'm going to try the dry ice, I just have to find a source for it.

Dents too deep?
Anyone gotten the dry ice technique to work? I tried it, holding the dry ice in the center of a dent for over a minute and nothing. I'm thinking the dents, while small, might be too deep into the metal. Oh well, if anyone gets it to work let me know pleeeeaaaase.

I was skeptical at first, but I guess it makes perfect sense.
Considering how easily a hot day can cause metals to expand, an extreme cooling from say dry ice could shrink the affected area and make it appear flat.

Tried the dry ice again, this time with a hair dryer. It made the dents smaller, but they didn't go away completely. STUPID DOOR DINGS! Went to Radio Shack (probably should have gone to Wal-Mart) and bought some air in a can stuff and didn't have much luck with that. I guess I'm stuck with the door dings until I can get em fixed properly I guess. Like I said though, the dents did get smaller, but didn't go completely away. Using my truck as the test subject, I'm gonna move on the Marisa's SVX since it's apparent that there was no damage to the paint in anyway. Hopefully her dents aren't as bad as mine and will go away.
