Is this worth the investment?
I have a couple of nasty dents on the side of my car. There's one in particular that just bugs the hell out of me. I suspect some kids were playing football in my neighborhood and hit my car with the ball. I'm now left with a really deep dent on the B-pillar area. What do you guys think about this product? Does anybody have it and can comment on it? I figure if this is a good product, I can save myself some money by fixing the dent myself. Certainly looks simple enough.

If the paint is fine, find a professional dent removal guy. They use a similar idea to the product your thinking of but do a much better job. If the dent is in an accessable place, you won't even be able to tell the difference.

I don't trust those dent removal tools, you could end up messing the car up worse than it is. I know it sucks having to pay to get it fixed, but at least that way you have recourse if the car gets messed up in the process.

Don't buy it! I was too was hyped up on the product but after relentlessly trying to fix my 4 minor dings, all i did was diminish their appearance not eliminate them.
They even recommend trying up to 10 times but after literally a dozen on 2 dings and half a dozen on the other 2, I gave up.

Depending on the company, they might even come out and do the work at your home or office. Unless you have a lot of dents, and are willing to experiment on your TL, don't buy it.

I remember reading in one of those car mags a few months ago (forgot which one) but they tried the same product on one of the long term vehicles they were testing (mazda tribute) that had a few dings in it.
Their conclusion was that it was a waste of money. Like the other poster noted, it only diminishes the appearance of the ding, but it still remained after numerous attempts. Their recommendation was to have it professionally removed.
