Minor paintless dent removal - budget DIY

[Duh_Vinci]

1st day out with the new/used XC70, while shopping, the best I can guess - someone's large light colored bumper puts a dent into my forward section of the fender.



Off to Harbor Freight.



The larger portion of the dent actually pulled with the suction cup



Now left with the little dent



Never used this kit before, seen the videos, tons of advertisement of these on facebook...





And now cleaned up, cut and buff - very happy with results!





Now, this is certainly no magic eraser, and my dent was fairly "soft", but with good prep and no rush - works as it should! $15, well worth every penny!

Regards,
D

Is this good for door dings?

I don't see why not? They only catch I could see - the offensive imperfection can not be a sharply indented. Has to have soft edges. This kit came with two attachments, oval small and larger round, depending on shape/size.

My paintless dent removal tools are a heat gun and a computer duster can. Not foolproof, but definitely works. Never tried it on Dior dings, but it works on Yves St. Laurent dents. Small ones, that is.

Dan, I'm very interested in more details. Are you saying it works on the little door dings we get?

You heat the panel then spray the inverted can, right?
