Paintless dent removal. It's inexpensive and works really well.

Its inexpensive? Down here its more than if they were to repair a door the old fashion way.

Two Words

Ding King
Search the internet for it. I got it @ Shucks yesterday for $19.95. Worked pretty good though you've got to do it 5 to 10 times on bigger dents.

Go ahead and waste your money on this tool. I put my business card in the box of one of these at the local autozone. Two weeks later, I got a call from the person that bought it. He returned it cause it didn't work, but he kept my card.

What do you do if you overpull the dent? the Ding King won't fix that!! Also, what do you do to the 2 more dents that the tool put in the car while it supported the bridge for pulling the original dent? If dent removal was as easy as a $30 tool, there wouldn't be the need for specialists and the auctions and dealerships would own 1 instead of having people like me come in.

Most "As seen on TV" products are cheap and don't work. This tool will lift a dent, but it won't fix the area around it or the center of the dent.
