DIY Dent Removal
Following my post a month or so ago regarding hit and run i am still stuck with the dent.
Getting everything repaired after xmas but in the meantime thinking of fixing the dent.
Anyone used one of these?Laser Suction Puller from Halfords Price £5.49 Extra 10% Off When You Add To Basket
Its only a temporary thing until the proper repair job, however the dent is fairly big but not creased apart from at the bottom.
Any advice appreciated.

very good technique, have to try that i think. got everything required.
its only a crease at the very bottom but the top part of the dent could easily be pulled out. will buy the dent sucker thing and give it a go, only 5 quid i guess.

I've watched the chap who does all our smart repairs at work and some of the dents he removes from our cars are huge - And they just push out.
I watched him remove a dent from a Honda Accord the other day that looked pretty nasty - No broken paint or creases . He just took the door panel off and just applied some pressure to the centre of the dent and It pinged straight out - It took him less than 5 mins.. He obviously has a van full of specialist tools but he said sometimes the big dents are the easiest and require no tools other than the screwdriver you use to remove Interior panels.
Give It a try as you've nothing to loose..

I got a door ding on my scooby a few years ago. I took the door panel of and got the dent out by rolling a spoon over the dent. Job done if you can get into the dent.

My pal got taken off his motorbike, and he was skint so I shoved an inner tube into the fuel tank, and inflated to 60 psi.... was o.k. (from a distance).
