The Ding King

I used one of these trying to get the hail dents out of my hood. Doesn't work. All it does is make the dents smaller. But when the dent goes from 1" to 1/4" it doesn't really matter since it's still obvious.

It did take about 90% out of the dents on the fenders, so I guess that's good. But I really was hoping it would work on the ones on my hood.

It works on some dents- you may have to use it again. My dad pulled out a dent in his motor home with it. Certainly worth a try considering how cheap they are. It won't work if the metal is kinked, but if it is bowed it will.
