Default Do it yourself dent removers?? Do they work???

Does the "As seen on TV" Ding King work?? You know, the one where you put glue on suction cups, and pull the dent out with the tool it comes with.

Anyone have experience with something of this nature?? Or am I better off having the paintless dent removal done by a professionals??

Is there any alternativesd to doing it yourself??

Any help will be greatly appreciated....

thanks

I think its only for platic side pannels and fenders. Aslong as your dent is on metal, they wont work.

Lucky for you you asked before buying it. DON"T BUY IT, IT DOESN"T WORK! I bought it and tried it for the dings and one minor dent on my 94 Integra. The thing did not get crap out. I followed their instructions of pulling the dings/dents several times if it doesn't come out. Nothing worked. Luckily I was able to return it or else I would have been PISSED OFF.

In theory it should work like a champ but in reality mine didn't work worth a squat. Matter of fact theres some glue that I cant get off of the paint.

I've had good results with mine. It wont make it as good as new, but I was able to make a very noticable and complicated dent blend in. It took several pulls and I think I pulled one part out too far, but it's much better than it was. I'll eventually get around to fixing the spot I pulled out too far (it comes with a tool for that), and they it'll be even better. It doesn't seem to work at all on small dents, like hail damage or where idiots hit my car with their doors. If you have a large, but not deep, dent then give it a try.

And I know there was someone on Team-Integra.net that had really good results with his. It just depends on the dent and how you use it.

I have no bought it, tried it, nor do I have any personal experience w/ it but I saw a "Car Connection" Segment on UPN New 13 (here in So Cal) where they tested the "Ding King" thats advertised for $29.99... they went to a junkyard and had some mexican guy (I assume he's either the owner of the junk yard or works there) go up to a van in the junkyard and hit it w/ a mallot causing a dent...

then they used the ding king and the glue to "pop" out the dent.... the dent was less indented but it was still noticeable on the camera...

UPN News 13s car connection rated it as good.. but on camera/on the news segment. you could see that the final result.. it still had a dent/dimple.. just not as big/indented....
