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!

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.

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.

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...
