That is how they do it with hondas. With BMWs we use heat guns (or blow dryers for those ballin on a budget) and then put ice on it (some say only dry ice but apparently any ice will work). __________________

Heat it up for a while and then stick the ice on it an ,POP, no more dent. I need to take a day (or a week) and do mine. __________________

dave post a picture... for bigger dents you can use a plunger... just get the car wet first.
ive done it to other cars as long as its a flat surface.
i have about 3 or 4 little door dents i can pop off __________________

hmmm i'll try the plunger i might look a little bit stupid but i'll do it. It's going to rain tomorrow so i don't even need to worry about getting the door wet.  | | | | | 06-05-2008, 04:57 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Calgary/Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Posts: 379 |
Try the plunger on the large dent, and heat/ice on the smaller ones and tell us how it works out. I'm swamped with work rite now so I can't try it out for myself, but I would really like to know how good this trick works. | | | | | 06-05-2008, 06:01 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |
LMAO... WOW. i was cracking up at this when i saw it. can't believe it worked for that guy. im gonna try it sometime. i have a few small small dents around the door areas (fu*king ppl are careless these days).
dave. you should get this thing from the auto store. it has like 3 suction cups on it. you put it on the area of the dent and it pulls it out. i've done it before on my dad's car. __________________
