DING KING does wonders but its a bitch if you have to use it on a really HUGE dent since its made for a small one. If you use it on an enourmous dent then your gonna have to pop it several times which only lead to the dent becoming lumps! Need to apply the right amount of "glue" on it as well, if you overpop it you'll also end up with a lump.

IT DOESNT WORK ON ALUMINUM!

I thought the body itself was sheet metal of some kind, because it is quite thin.

It all depends on what kinds of dents they are.
Maybe you could take some good pictures of them?

Any tutorials with the dry ice methoad? I was shopping at Albertons (grocery store) and before I walked in, I saw a sticker that said they sold DRY ICE on the sliding doors.

They sell dry ice at a grocery store? I had to go to a welding supply place to get some.

some grocery stores carry it, i used to work at one for awhile and when we got freight in the meat and other frozen foods would usually come with bags of dry ice around them and our store would sell that to people that needed it. i don't think it's too common to find it just for sale at a grocery store tho?

That's weird. I worked at a grocery store in the produce dept. for about 4 years (I would occasionally cover meat and fish), and never saw anything like that when unloading trucks.

for Ding King, although it does give a "lumpy" effect on larger dents.
