I dunno if this would even fit in any forum but interior/exterior looked the best :) I got a couple of minor dings from somebody being stupid with their car door above my rear right-side wheel, a little past the door, and I was wondering if there would be a cheap solution to get them out? Or would I have to have that whole section replaced? I want to find the cheapest solution possible but I can probably just live with them... Any suggestions? Thanks ;)
 
I have heard of dry ice being used to remove such dents. Now, unfortunately, I have no idea where you would get something like that as it obviously isn't something your local gas station carries.

I have never tried this myself, but I have heard it works on minor dents. Wrap the dry ice in a towel. Then place it over the dent and the contraction of the metal is supposed to pull the dent out.
 
I have tried the dry ice method and it does work on certein dents it depends on how big they are and how dented they are also.

So how does the dry ice get out the dents?

Just the difference in temperature causes the metal on the outside to contract a little, pulling out the dent. never tried it myself, but i hear that it works on some minor door dings and such
