anything with that "as seen on tv" slogan is bullshit. yeah, it might work on 1% of cases, but I doubt your case is in that 1%.

friend of mine bought it from kragen for $20. We tried it on my cl and it worked. Didn't remove eniter dent but it helped alot. Be sure to remove wax, buy a 3m wax remover can and spray that area that'll make it work at it's best.

NBC4 here in DC did a "Can it really do that?" on the DIY dent remover. They got a trasher, put different dents in it, and found that it worked only on certain dents and certain sizes. I can't recall the details, but it only worked some of the time. I recall them saying that dents with creases wouldn't come out with that device, but not sure-----


OH, HERE's The LINK!!!! Check this out, this should help!!

Of topic, but just like GS-27 scratch remover "As seen on TV." I got it for $15 at an auto store, what a waste of money. Some cleaner/wax and polish and wax is much better-

I got a dent from my son's bicycle handlebar. I tried the "Ding King", which is a very similar product. It actually worked pretty well. It didn't get the dent out completely, but it looked about 95% better when I finished. I had to do use the tool about 7 or 8 times to get good results.

For the $20 dollars that I spent on the kit, I went from having a nasty looking, very noticable dent to having a very slight one that people typically cannot see unless they really look for it. I am happy with the results considering what I paid.
