26578, Small Dent Removal Hints? Tips? Cheap Suction Cup Gadgets? Posted by Super20G, Jul-14-02 03:56 PM
I have a few small dents, one pretty big one thats more of a crease in the passenger side fender. Is there an easy way to remove this and other small dings without having to do all the painting and shit? I saw a gadget on tv that is "supposed" to do the trick, the "ding king" or something like that, 1 suction cup on each end and one in the middle with a knob you turn and it pulls up... think its worth a shot? Any ideas much appreciated...

I heard that dry ice will pop a dent out on contact. No idea where to get the stuff tho.

LOL, I saw that dent remover on tv a few nights ago. It looked pretty slick, but I would want to hear from someone that has it first to make sure it works.

Brad try my dry ice idea...find a vendor place that sells ice-cream to icecream truck drivers and stuff...they are in your local yellow pages...and it is CHEEP too...like $5 for a 10lb block of dry ice...just don't touch it with ur bare hands!!! :)

It works for small dings etc. just put a towel on the car first then dry ice over that and wait a bit to let the dry ice cool the metal and it will come out a bit.

it must be true. Mike knows about it too. I'd try it. Last time I had a dent, I called a place called dent wizard. They used the suction cup, didn't work good. On the door btw. He then took my door panel off, and tapped it out with some tools and shit. Charged $75 for that shit. I'd say dry ice is a good idea.

Well, I am not gonna worry with the dry ice for now, the only dent i care about is more of a crease and I know dry ice isnt gonna get that one out, I ordered the suction cup device from www.dingking.com and we'll see if it works, if not, its got a money back guarantee so i'll take before and after pics incase i need them to send it back...

yeah, please post how it works out for you. I have some dings that I would like to get rid of. The body shop wants about 150 bucks to do it. (which isn't bad except I have no job!)

Someone did that to my wifes Altima car, but they did the hood, the roof, and the trunk. We had to have the hood and the trunk lid replaced and the roof rebuilt. Insurance covered it as vandalism but it was over $3200 in damage.
