I just bought a proper set off ebay with a lifetime guaranty. Thought I'd try it out on the wifes Merc before my Subaru. She had a small 1 inch dent on the door. It's now about 3 inches long but pushed out which I told is easier to sort out.lol
She not happy.

The dvd with the set is ****. 1970's with some bloke hitting pool ***** on a bonnet which he then removes. No showing you how to do anything else.

I recommend the Pros Had it done at a car show on my old car at £30 a pannel.

Good luck.

Deffo get the pro's to do it. It's not expensive and it's quite amazing to watch them work. It's a skill that takes years of practice to master, trying it yourself will end in tears.
Think from memory I paid £30 a panel to have my Subaru sorted. You'd never tell it had been done.

I guess it's better to get it done properly.

My wings on the Subaru are really dented, not sure how many times the engine's been in and out lol
