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

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. [/b]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.

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!

After the Black walnuts dropped from the trees and put 6 dents in my roof, I went to abra auto body and now there new PDR paintless dent repair, they told me about a new deal...they Hot glue something to the middle of the dent, and then have some sort of puller and work the dent out, so no drilling like before...6 dents, plus 1 in the deck lid..= $600.00
