hmm...

So it seems that most of you guys think this is a big wast of money...

I have never seen the dealer guy actually pull a dent, to see how they do it. I'm going to call a local guy and have hime pull a couple of dents on the diesel beater to see how he does it.

I'd be surprised him he uses anything different than this hot glue and pull hammer.

Benzzy - did you ever become a dent remover tool user ?

I have 5 door dings all on the right side of my ML320.
I paid a guy and watched him remove a couple dents on my Acura.
For $40-1000 there are the paintless tools that press from the door supports and push out the dents.
I am all ears if anyones done this.

The process of removing dents takes some skill.

My friend will remove any inner fenders or will drill a small hole if it is in the door. He then inserts a special tool into the hole to reach the backside of the dent and massages it out from the inside. When he is finished he plugs the hole with a plastic plug and a small amount of sealer.

If the dent doesn't have a crease in it, 9 times out of ten a glass suction cup will pull it out.
