Dry-Ice....Dent Remover? WHAAAAAA?
 
Take a look at the video in the link... Can dry ice really pop out small dents like this? i never heard of this method before.

Never heard of this before either.

Kind of hard to believe.

Old technique, but in shops they use a torch and water since they are gonna repaint it anyway.

Too bad i didnt now about this sooner. Im going to Ft Lauderdale FL from april 5-9th and while im gone my boxster will be getting the works done to it... Bodywork and paint. I've always wanted a new "looking" car.

Hi,

Yes, this technique has been around quite a while. Sometimes it works, other time it won't. Depends on the location and extent of the damage. Car Dealerships have used this for a long time to repair Hail storm damage on cars in their lots...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

The "Clean Surface" portion of video where the guy wipes the area with his grubby gloves should be titled, "apply swirl marks" :rolleyes:

I'll have to try this on a hard to see ding on my car.
