Removing dents with a can of air and a hair dryer.

hhkim · 12-28-2010, 01:43 AM

This is very cool. I guess the heat from the hair dryer makes the metal more flexible and the cold air quickly cools it down, causing it to contract and pop back out?

Anyone dare to try on a ding they have??

Dry ice and hot water.

Done it on my GLK. It works, but you have to do it multiple times. You can see progress though.

Oh and remember not to wipe off the ice after you've sprayed it w/ air. You'll create fine scratches in the paint.

I'll take my dented BMW to a repair shop, thank you

You can take out a dent this way but probably screw up your paint in the process.
