Ding Removers that work! Help

[BD1]

Need a ding remover badly. I have tried using a homemade plunger, that doesn't work. I have used the tool that picks glass up, that pulled the car out too far, and now water forms into circles whenever it rains. Please do not refer me to The Ding King, I'm looking for a homemade product or something I can order online with paypal right now, thanks.

A hammer and a block of wood from behind. If you're lucky the metal didn't stretch enough to be noticeable.

How would I go about using the hammer? The dings are on the sides of my car.

yeah, i have lots of dings too so if anyone can be helpful that would be great, my ding of course is on my driver door.

Supposedly if you use a hair dryer and heat up the metal and then put dry ice near it, the metal will pop out and remove small dings. I have never tried this but I have heard it works.

Have you considered paintless dent repair? They use special tools and go behind the panel to reshape and press out the dent.

I had that done (shopping cart dent...some stupid kid did it the day I bought my car!) It was $90.00. It isn't perfect because the dent was right on a beam so they couldn't smooth it out completely, but it's alot better, and definitely worth it.

Lettme just drive my car into the bathroom real quick and I'll try that.

I guess I'm gonna try to take off the plastic panels inside and knock them out, I beat the piss out of the dents in my trunk, that seemed to work.

Ever heard of a extension cord. I actually heard that works, well worth a try before taking a hammer to the car.

If you don't already do body panel repair, this isn't the time to find out how tough it is to do well. Pay to have it done, the $300 will be a _lot_ cheaper.

Small dings have to be "massaged" out, not beaten out with a hammer.Like defiant said, if you are asking that question, you should pay to have it done.PDR is not that expensive,usually around $50-$75 a dent.

if it's a small ding remove the interior panels and push it out with a cork or full rubber mallet

There is no shortcut period. Your car is not a toilet.
