F, its not liquid CO2, its some long chemical I cant remember, but its alot warmer. the techniques still work though, but the important part is where the dent is. If its right in the middle of a body panel and isnt really huge or really small, thats perfect. were looking for a few inches of diameter here. If its wrinkled it wont work as well either. < Message edited by nafango2 -- 5/30/2008 8:13:42 PM > _____________________________ 96 Accord LX 4cyl. 4dr AT w/o vtec (F22B2) Security System / Keyless entry (in reply to tnguyen600) Post #: 16

I have seen it done both ways _____________________________ 1996 Accord LX 2.2L SOHC (in reply to nafango2) Post #: 17

It is still just CO2, but just a lot colder. Unless of course you bought a chemical based compressed air for special cleaning.  _____________________________ 2001 Accord EX 3.0 VTEC (My new baby) 1987 Camaro IROC-Z28 5.0 TPI (Currently for sale $3500) (in reply to myrtle71590) Post #: 20

I got a "pops a dent" Wal Mart for $18.88 , but I''ve seen them other places . Others I''ve seen had a releasing agent , that mine did not , and I think that wouldhave helped . I had a hard time getting some of the glue off after the puller came other . I had some dents that were between 4 and 10 inches in diameter and 1 that was across a body line . It had much more power that I thought and put liked a tank , but once the metal is creased it''s creased . All and all , I was very pleased with the results and I think someone that used one of these a few times would get better fast . I did a much better job and got a smoother surface on the last dent I did and it was the worse . IMO , 20 bucks well spent . six _____________________________ 91 Accord LX Coupe First Honda & First FWD (in reply to 01 vtec nc) Post #: 21
