POP's A DENT

Any one ever try it? it seems to me liek it my work im jsut curious if any one has actualy ever used it before and if so what are there results? The web site to hem is http://www.pops-a-dent.com/pop/index.asp

On a side not i got my car towed when it would not run and the idot ****ed up my paint job i just got today i met with the tow company they say the damage was all ready there and that there is a layer of paint below were some paint chipped when my exhaust wnt into my back bumper. I wanted to hit them. then they tried to put my car on the tow truck of couse being very careful they ripped my front spoiler with the metel thing and it fell off there blocks of wood. So no matter what they gotta give me some $$$ but im still pissed when the guy from AAA called me a lier to my face. Damn british people.

lol, I personally think it's a piece of crap. Depends on the dent really...if it's just pushed in, and the metal isn't "Creased", I could see that thing workin'. But, in general, I wouldn't see it of being any use. And that "paint match" system...that's another crapola thing. Gimme a break

Yes, I have used it, and it works fairly well - depending on where the dent is. On creased body panels, It will not work (i've tried). It's a useful tool that can sometimes save a trip to the repair shop.

Then It'll work. Like I said before, It's a very useful tool to have.

I've never seen it in person, but i just can't believe that the spot where it was dented would ever be the same, It would probably have a wave there or something. My one friend has a 94 altima, and he had someone use it on his hood... It stayed out all summer, until the winter came, and it popped back out..

I have a dent king (same thing) and it works ok but.You have to be careful on how much glue to use because that stuff sticks like a sob and I did notice that it does leave high spots where the glue makes contact with the paint .But overall it works good but will not give you show quality results ....

I have the "ding king" which is essentially the same thing and just so you know according to the little booklet it comes with its only designed for OEM paint so if you have a $300 macco job i think its possible it could hurt your paint. I'm kinda worried to let that thing touch my car tho...I got it as a prank gift...
