My baby has a dent ;(
I was driving along, one rainy day, and something out of the trees above me fell and hit my hood *Nothing huge..I only heard the *BANG*...so not sure what it was* and I get out and see a dime to quarter sized dent in the hood. No scratched paint and no crease, thankfully. I tried the "Hairdryer + compressed air" trick. Didn't work :( I'll have to find someplace that sells Dry Ice next...
Just my whine story, really. :( |
Dent Free paintless dent remover. A mobile dent removal service, about $100. In Yellow Pages.
|
Sadly, in my current financial pickings *Just moved and still owe the government money from taxes...* I can't afford $100. I'm hoping to cheaply and easily get it out myself. Never bought Dry Ice, hope it's not expensive :p
|
That sux. Might make u feel lil better in that i dented my fender by screwing on the fucking oil filter. I was bending over to get to it and my thigh was pressed up against the fender and when i backed out the fender was pushed in a bit (about size of baseball. I had to take out the inside wheel well splash guard and press it out (got most of it back to normal but still could c a lil bit if in the right light). It is VERY thin and flimsy. Talk about being pissed at myself. At least yours was a legit accident and not and idiot move like mine:)
|
Shit, that sucks. Hope you can get it all the way out! :O
|
Sorry to bump this up, but I tried to whole blow dryer + compressed air and now I got done with dry ice...dent still prevails. It's about a nickel - quarter sized dent with no creases what so ever. Since I'm failing so hard, can I take it to a body shop and will my insurance cover it? I know nothing about the way insurance works and what I have to say for it to be covered/if anything needs to be said...
OR if anybody has any other free/cheap anecdotes to use...let me know. I was thinking about a plunger... |
Try opening your hood, removing the protective cover on the underside and pushing out the dent with a screwdriver or flat object. If your deductible is more than $100, you may as well have Dentpro fix it.

It's on the side. Under the hood, on the left side, where the 'hump' is...no protective gear. I'll have to pay the $100 to get it removed, I guess :(

Dude....pdr...paintless Dent Removal...
Done |
Google renders people performing a PDR. Cheapest one around here is $50 a panel.
I'm trying to figure out what PDR you guys are talking about D: |
Paintless dent removal is a service not a product. As far as I can tell.
|
I say get a "Pops a dent"
One of my friends bought it and it worked, but maybe read reviews online before paying the $20. |
OK, gotcha. Pitz is a little bit more knowledgeable now....but just a little. I'll call around AutoZone and see if they offer the service.
*EDIT* Autozone says they don't do that...at least around here, haha. I wish I could find out what I'm doing so wrong with the dry ice. :( |
The hood is aluminum. Not sure PDR works on aluminum.
|
That would explain why I couldn't get it to work....*busts into tears*
|
they def make a tool that removes dents it is like a plastic or steel bar with a couple suction cups and a screw knob and u slowly tighten(i think( and it pulls the dent right out but i'm not sure if it would work for a dent so small....but I thik any parts store/hardware store would have it

I was hoping SOMEONE else knew what I was talking about:cool: |
Upon googling pops a dent...it looks like a plunger :P
|
haha I couldn't remember the name of it haha yeah sounds like it sort of like a plunger i guess.......haha i knew what you were talkin about LHPitcher haha
|
pay the money and get a professional to do it. that way you know it will get done right the first time.
|
Yeah, I just got done washing/claying/waxing...and that fkn dent is driving me crazy!!
|
I called a paintless dent guy and asked how much if i went to HIS house, then showed up w. cash... and paid 40$, down from 100. It took him 1 hour flat. I watched the whole thing, it was a dent in the driver door body line right on top of the structural frame. The dude was amazing and it is absolutely perfect.
