Dent Puller

[bumper]

I have a minor compression dent in my front door (maybe 1/8" deep, 3-4" in diameter). Can anyone tell me from experience if a "suction cup dent puller" such as shown on the following web pages is likely to work on my dent?

Thanks for any advice.

I`ve never heard of any home-remedy type tools for dings working well.



Although my father has gotten away with setting his car out on a hot day and then applying dry-ice to a dented area and having it pop back out some.



I keep seeing commercials for ding-king. It`s got that guy from the Oxyclean commercials.. He actually shows it work.. but you know how that goes right...

check `em out.. atleast dingking offers a money back guarantee if you aren`t happy.

Everything on the web reviewing the "dingking" says it doesn`t work well at all (cement used to secure puller surface to dent not sufficient to permit enough pull to be exerted). But, a suction cup of sufficient contact strength I thought might work. Anyone tried one of these?

The dingking uses a few suction cups to secure the device to the car. I guess I fail to see how it`s really any different.



Just take your car to a PDR shop and be done with it.

I agree, if you have a Dent Busters around you, or some similar ding/dint removal shop... just go there. It would be a heck of a lot easier than trial and error with Infomercial products, and all in all wouldnt be that much more $ either.



Good Luck. :xyxthumbs

I fellow on the BMW boards over at Roadfly.org pulled a softball sized plate of paint off the hood of his Z3 with a "Ding King". He was actually getting OK results when on the 4th try the paint adhered to the cement/suction cup rather than to the body of his car. I think the concensus was the car was repainted without his knowledge, but still USE CAUTION if you use it at all.
