Title: Dent removal
Post by: nixoro on 04 March 2009, 21:23:09

This maybe in the wrong place to post but I am after some tips to remove a dent on the passenger side wing.

I have been thinking of investing in a dent puller but am not sure how good they are.

The dent is roughly 2 - 3 inches has anyone got any tips for removal.

I have been looking online and found a link to dent removal using dry ice not sure if its a good method but thought i'd post a link to the video for anyone interested.

interesting thread in both ways..

Seriously, spend really long time with painters and body repair shops ..

different type of tools for different locations depending on the curvature

these may be pricey..

sometimes very cheap solutions can solve also..if accessible from behind..

Although they used an air duster (held upside down) presumably it will work with a freezer spray like plumber use as well

Chris I have a dent puller here if you want to come across to me we can have ago together in getting the dent out. I have used it a few times and does a decent job, just need to have some grunt to pull it.

Nope, the freezer spray plumbers use (and long before that used on electronics for diag) is not nearly as cold.

By turning the air duster upside down I suspect they are getting the CO2 out in liquid form which will be VERY cold

I got one out of the rear quarter the other day by using the tow eye hook,and its 80% better than before.Just rubbed it backwards and forwards with moderate pressure.Saved myself £45.

got to your local fish monger(or somewhere else) and get a chunk of dry ice. keep rubbing the dent till it's gone. Make sure you wear suitable gloves!!
