take the air duster, flip it upside down, now its not air anymore. this liquid oxygen/nitrogen will freeze the metal, you use the hair dryer to heat it. the drastic change in temperature causes the metal to expand and the dent to fix itself. there is a video of it working on a large dent, but large dents are much more maleable than small ones. that is why i dont think it will work on a small dent

Don't know if you guys have the Dent Wizard by you houses, but these guys do paintless dent removal. They do fantastic work and probabl.y will charge you $75 bucks to completely take it out. Plus if they F it up they're responsible for the damage, whcuh is nice.

if that doesn't work, just go to a body shop and have them P.D.R. it. it wont be that bad of a price, and the dent will be gone.

That's exactly what I was talking about with the dent wiard. They do paintless dent removal (PDR).

dent wizard is expensive and not all their techs are very good. find a local detail shop and ask who they use. they normally use a good dent guy cuz their customers are so picky.

a picture of the dent would be helpful if you haven't had it fixed already. this is an old post.
