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 ******* 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

 

****, 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.

 

paintless dent removal.

 

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

 

paintless dent removal. go to autozone/pepboys/ WALMART and get one. 10 bucks max

 

Oh...there is a product?! I thought it was a service...haha. *googles*

 

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 **** 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

 

Yeah, that's the "Pops a dent" I said a couple posts up.

I was hoping SOMEONE else knew what I was talking about

 

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.
