Do you guys think the dryice OR duster willwork for this?



As you can tell, it is a LONG line about a foot long dented inward.
Any advice?? Should I give it a try?

Oh, thought I'd throw this in... could have some dents using this method =P

hmm. it DIDNT work for me! spend 8 bucks on the duster and it was empty in 2 trys and it didnt work! DAMNIT!, it could have been 2 reasons it didnt work for me. the location of dent and i used a heat gun instead of a hair dryer. Im mainly thinkin its the location of the dent. mainly bcuz its on a body line. and plus a hair dryer is practically the same as a heat gun. hmm

any suggestions? BTW the dent is located on the passenger side 1/4 panel. that slim peice between the back door and the wheel well. almost directly above the sideskirt.

OK, I hear you all but when I watched that video all I could think of was all the thermal shock the paint was undergoing. But I guess you'd all have paint peeling off of where you did the repairs if it was a problem. Just seems like a good recipe for paint failure.

I think this method of dent removal is best for dents without creases. Most door dings probably will not come out with a technique like this.

Hey Dope, how's the paint job in the areas you've used dry ice on as of now? Do the areas worked on feel the same as the other areas untouched? I just want to be certain before I join in on the risky fun (lol!). I had my TL-S ding free for a year, then all of a sudden...DINGo!!! -_-; ...
