Im posting this thread because i need some advide. It looks like my car had acne for 10 years!!I have several small dings and dents on my NBP CL. What is an easy method to take theese out for a nice smooth surface??

Try pantless dent removal, you can look them up on the web or your handy phone book. I had one fix in Augusta GA and he charged me $60. You can't even tell there was a dent there.

Are there any DIY tools i can use? I remember seeing this one dent fixer that you stick outside the dent on one thing you stick right on the dent. Then you pop it out somehow. Looked kindve like bogus, but there should be something out there that can repair minor dents.

There may be some DIY tools out there but the guy that fixed mine said that he charged more it it had already been attempted. He made it look easy but he also had 20 years doing it. All they do is GENTLY massage the dent from the inside of the panel.

I wouldn't trust em man just stick to a mobile professional dent removal service, or just go to a profesional business in your area.

look for the thread that talks about heat gunning it and blowing it over with a upside-down keyboard can. i remember they said, you heat it for about 5 minutes and immidiatly spray it with a keyboard air cleaner thats upside down. wait a couple seconds, and watch it pop right out! oh snap. okay, i just found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2R3QQejjGI

+1 for paintless dent removal. The guy around here does a whole body panel for $80. Nice for removing door dings on your doors, worked well for the two I had.

Damb thats crazy wonder if that works for any kind of dent?


Did you see the one on there how to open your car with a tennis ball?

Thats some funny shiz.

I doubt that will work for small dents, cuz you will need a lot more pressure to get the small ones to pop up. Cool vid tho

I tried the "Ding King" at your local Pep Boys or Autozone...worked ok, but it's never going to get those annoying dings all the way out. I got nailed by a car door a few weeks back and it pulled most of it out, but I had to do it about 10-12 times and it's still noticeable

Watch out though, because the sheet metal in some of the places is very thin and you can pull it a little too far and make a slight bubble (i.e. in a line above the door handle).

Try this:
1. warm up the area for about a minute with a blow dryer
2. grab a one of those pressured air cans and flip it upside down (this makes the air even colder)
3. spray the area with the upside down can and simply sit back and watch the mental contract and expand into its original shape

Then have your entire clear coat fall off to the bare metal!!!

The Cl was originally a luxury coupe.Man,you guys are cheap !. Pay a professional to do it right.Trust me I know.

abouelmm

it still is luxury, it didnt morph into anything, atleast mine didnt..
nothing wrong with saving a little money but PDR ftw tho for sure

MADMAN187

Thanks lot for the opinons guys. I will probably take it to the paintless dent removal and get a fresh paintjob..super clean! Lol i guess its not paintless dent removal anymore!

Jrezo

Did you say "watch the MENTAL contract"?

Hah ah
