Dry ice to pop out dents. It works!
 

I got a small dent on my car on the quarter panel while moving the mower. I was so upset. I heard about the dry ice method so I gave it a shot. I took my hair drier and heated the dent up. Once hot, I put on some gloves and put a corner of the dry ice on the deepest part of the dent. Heard a "pop" and dent was gone. Cost to fix the dent on my fb: $5.00

Thought I would share my experience since i'm so happy it worked. Woot Woot! :djcelebra

Where did you get the dry ice from? It might be something I have to consider for my truck...

I´ll try

:)

nice tip

very cool!!

Here's a site that has many uses for dry ice and you can look up where you can get it in your area: Dry ice info

Good link, that helped me out alot! Thanks!

Ben, your stuff will finally go out after the holiday! ;)

Walmart

^^^^ Serious???

Yeah. It will be in an unplugged deepfreeze in the front. I have even seen it at georcy stores

That or go to your local party shop, and they should be able to tell you where to find it.

Yes.

Very interesting stuff, im going to have to go and try and check that out tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

how large of a dent do you think this will work for?

I have a dent from a lady backing into my passenger side front fender.

hey this is cool, got to try this on my drivers fron fender, i bought the car like this but im gonna do this now, so heat it up then add the dry ice??

That only works as long as long as the metal isn't creased

Also does a great job of removing the tar on the floor's of our cars. Freeze, hit it with a mallot and it comes off in sheets.

No pun intended!!

I want to try this, but I may have to wait, last time I went to get dry ice, the lady at the store said the plant in Sacramento burnt down. There's some irony for you.

you can buy dry ice at QFC

show us some pics please!!!!

we usally make bombs with the dry ice, never thought of fixing dents with it, thanks kim :)

LOL I've done that. Had one that didn't go off and I went about 5 minutes later to pick up the bottle and bang it blew the cap off right into my thumb. Boy did that smart. Any grocery store should have dry ice. Seafood is packed in dry ice when it's shipped...

I've done the dry ice bombs, nice to actualy have a good excuse when I'm buying it now. the fresher the dent will also determin how well this will work since metal has a 'memory' (not sure of the actual term) and would rather return to the position it is most comfertable in. The longer that a dent sits after it happens the more the metal will harden.

Nice hint! I'm gonna have to try this when I get time. Got a massive hail storm last week and it left its mark on the 7. Only need to pop out about 15-20 nice sized dents. I hate hail...

Thanks for the tip Kim. I really want to try this out now. In fact, I'm going to go put a good dent in my car, just so I can try this! :)
