Default DIY Dent Removal!

Hi Guys,

Has anyone had any experience of these do it yourself ding/ dent removal kits, (hot melt glue gun type)?

I know it's always best to leave repairs to the pro's, but unless your neighbour or brother in law does this for a living, it's going to work out expensive - so I'd kinda like to give this a shot and keep myself from deep depression every time I clean my car

Words of wisdom - gladly received, cheers.

I have know of a great dentmaster guy that I have used more than once and he is very reasonable. He charged me £45 to remove all the dents on my swedish tank (volvo).

I would look in yellow pages and/or ask friends if they know of a dentmaster, as things like this are best left to the professionals.

I guess the cheapest way of finding out if your any good would be to buy the heat glue gun type of fleabay and then try on a scap panel from local scrappie.
Never tried it myself but I'm guessing that removing dints from a flat panel is not that hard, but the real skill would be to remove dints on curved panels, edges of panels etc.
