So once again, I make the effort to park at least a mile from any damn cars, go into the store for les than 5 mins, and low and behold, a BRAND NEW DENT!!! that wasn't there when I had washed my car 15mins earlier. WHOOPIE!!! So, now that I have enough of them that it keeps me from seeing the true beauty of the car, I was wondering if there is anyway of repairing them without repainting. There is one crease and three dings. So if anyone has any recomendations, please let me know, thanks guys.

 

Post pics of it, if its creased its not going to come all the way out.

 

i have used the dent king on my car it makes a huge difference, but its not a perfect result...there is a place near me that uses magnets to take dents out...if u want flawless go to a pro

ar..it have little to do with the final result, unless there's metal touching on the back side. but if the metal is scretched then it will not be perfect.

please throw that into the trash

S2ki hosted a dent day last week or so.

here some picture of the work, the technician is from dentmaster.

I pulled two tiny ding on that day, pulled a multiple(one ding, one crease on the emblem and another crease on the edge of the lid), everything came out perfect.


someone's car btw

 

To a trained eye, I promise you they can still see where that dent was in person if it was creased like that

 

i can honestly say that the paintless dent removal works. but it really depends on the skill of the "remover" and also the severity of the "dent". the term dent is vague and can imply anywhere from a nick to a real nasty dent.

my dents were not very bad like the above poster's. but more often than not, you'll have trouble remembering where the dent was after they're done.

before you have someone work on your car, ask around and see if there is someone who has done work repeatedly who's done a good job. and also ask up to what size dent or the severity of the dent they'll be able to remove.

if it can be removed via paintless fashion, do it instead of painting. but if it's really bad, you might not have any choice.

good luck brah!

kepani

 

and just for reference $-wise, the work i had done was about $50 for each body panel regardless of the number of dents on the panel.

 

Thanks alot guys!

 

There aint half been some clever bastards

 

I know a guy who does dent removals for a living, and all I can say is those guys have skills.

Hire a pro

ar..then you are spliting hair, i mean it's your call if you want to buy a new fender

, paint it and make it perfect. but if you ask me: why bother to spend that much

money to repair ding and dent when you can have it 99.99% perfect(100% if you

are not a trained bodyshop worker like me), not to mention the decrease in value

of the car and the risking a non-matching paintjob. Of course there's alot of

average joe's and there's once a while there's a really good craftsman.

whatever floats your boat, i spent 50 buck(that guy did too) and it's worth every

penny imho

wow, that looks too good to be true.

 

i had the dent king in my garage for a long time, dont know who originally bought it, but it was free and it took me 5 minutes in my driveway to get rid of the dent, why would i throw it out?

did you "Wake up to the Dent King"

(burger king ploy)

 

I just went to the dent day on s2ki a couple weeks back and had a dent removed on my driver's side door. It wasn't as bad as the one pictured, but it also came out just as nice...I was skepitcal at first also...Hearing a lot of horror stories, etc...Just make sure the person doing the dent removal has a lot of vouches I couldn't be more happy with the results of mine!

 

i too will vouch for the dent guy at the s2ki dent day.

it seems like with the right experience, any typical dent can be removed with very good results. my dent wasnt much, but it killed me to see it everytime i walked up. it was VERY much worth $50.

trained eye or not, i cant see it. thats all i care.

 

Too bad you don't live in So Cal.

I had a ugly dent the the paintless dent remover guy took out. It even had a slight crease. He did a really good job. I was impressed.

 

DAMN!

i am owner/operator oF Premium Dent Repair (P.D.R. inc) and that is not true.... i have and i know many other pdr techs that can fix creases perfect......there is exceptions thow....a crease or dent may be very deep and very sharp and can not be fixed to 100%....a good tech should tell you what is gonna look like befor they fix it.....and if you think it looks bad and to hard to fix chances are theres a tech out there that can fix it

Thats not 'dirt cheap'... Thats going rate over here in VA also...

I dont think you'll be getting too much business by telling customers to "go to a body shop and pay $400"

 

$50 a panel is a good deal. Usually only available on group dent days.

i got 2 techs workin for me we service 46 car dealerships in the chicago land and sothern wi area i dont have a problem getting business ....and lets not forget the body shops we service.....my retail price is $75 a panel $150 + on excessive damage..(( like that fender pic up there )).. but if its just like one quarter size dent for $50 i guess thats cool and i cut deals to repeat retail customers

 

PDR is amazing if you can find a SKILLED technician to do it.
