Default Remove dent with ice?

I just watched a video on youtube where a guy removed several dents using dry ice. Is this technique really any good? It only costs a couple dollars just for some dry ice. I think i'm going to try this soon.

yes this method works, however it will work only on parts where the panel is dent but has nothing under the panel ie a skeleton or frame or corners.

ideal locations would be parts of your roof and parts of the door and some parts of the fenders,

I have used heat but never ice...What you are doing is shrinking the metal till it pops back in place.

* Searching my comp for it *

I made a thread a while back, I was going to attempt it. My damage is way too bad though.

The video I saw involved a hair dryer and compressed air for cleaning key boards. The guy heated the entire area of the dent with the drier, and than immediately sprayed it with the keyboard cleaner. Such a quick change in temperature made the metal "pop" back into place.

That may be too hard since it's such a small area. It's a worth a try though
