How do you get dents out of your car? Dry Ice???

These dents are the size of a business card. How can I get dents out of the body from people wanting to decorate it ever so nicely by opening their doors and hitting my car? I heard dry ice can help but, need a pro's opinion/experience on this.

    You may be able to have them repaired by a "paint-less dent removal" service. Check the yellow pages or inquire at a dealership about who does this locally. These guys can remove small dents without the hassle of repainting the complete panel. And at a much lower price! HTH!! Good Luck!!

    Dry Ice will ruin your paint job, imagine sticking your hand in a cold container where the temperature is negative 70C (-94F) it'll instantly freeze it, while this may pop the bump (or ding) it will freeze off the paint in the area. Do as the fellow above me mentioned and take it to a body specialist such as a "paintless dent remover"

    i individually do no longer think of dry ice will artwork on your bumper. Dry ice is sensible for physique panel dents that are no longer creased and are interior the sheet steel ingredient of the vehicle. it works by contracting the sheet steel and in that, is merely smart for skinny fabric and not suitable for bumpers.
