if IRC it acts like a really strong suction cup and pops the dent out that way.

It works if there are no creases.

just get a little dry ice from hyvee and use that on the dents while the car is sitting in the sun.

Or get a can of air used for cleaning computers and a blow dryer.

Heat up the area making sure not to ruin the paint. Then take one of those air duster cans (typically used on computer keyboards, etc.), tip it over and spray in on the dent. Tipping the can over makes the air ice cold. This will create a huge temperature difference and hopefully pop out the dent.

Yep.

If you look on youtube you can see it in action. However this approach also won't work if the dent is creased.

she lets her hair air dry. I do have a heat gun that I used to use on my boots, but I'm afraid that would destroy the paint.

it will work if you are careful, just don't heat it up much!
