RE: dents!! - 8/1/2007 3:43:22 PM    sir_nasty Posts: 6303 Joined: 2/23/2006 Status: offline The really cheap orange/red plungers work the best (if you can get a good seal) just get it on there and yank out hard/fast.  If that doesn't work then you're on to finding a way to bounce it out from the inside or talk to some body shops... _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!

It has 3 little plungers, use adhesive, place it on dent and screw it out. You will hear a POP and the ding is less noticable. I've tried this and it didn't remove it, but did help.

Then take a bottle of compressed air and holding it upside down spray the dented area. Let it sit for a minute or so and the dent should come out due to the metal contracting and expanding. You can also substitute the compressed air for dry ice. _____________________________ 1996 Accord LX 2.2L SOHC (in reply to accord_99) Post #: 12
