I saw this and thought it was pretty cool. I have never tried either method myself, so I cant vouch for them though .

I'm sold on paintless dent removal. The right person can perform miracles, but it requires real skill, talent and experience.

I'll let those with experience using hair dryers and dry ice comment on DIY. But I sure wouldn't want to learn how to do it on my own car!

 

I'll stick with PDR also...I have used the same guy for the past 9 years...a real paintless dent repair master technician...even removed a dent from the rear of my Blazer the other day (in the painted metal bumper...and that metal is about 4 times thicker than body panels).

 

If you are in good standing with a local dealer(i.e. know a service writer from regular maintainence visits), typically they have PDR contractor that will fix it for a fraction of the price of calling them up in the yellow pages.

Also, leather repair, glass repair/replacement, stain removal, bumper touch up painting, ect...dealers deal with tons of vendors. Those guys come on the lot once a week and fix 3 or 4 cars in the used car dept, and a couple customer cars, and they have a much lower rate then a single retail visit.

 

I had a tree limb fall on my hood, leaving behind 3 dime sized dings. I had Dent Wizard paintless dent remove them, I was only charged 100 bucks. It took the guy about an hour, it was amazing watching the process. The best part was there is no way to tell where the dings were and I didn't have to repaint my hood.
