Dents and dings

I bought my car used and it has a few dings from falling acorns / hail etc. No huge dents from collisions, except maybe one by the fender where the owner might have hit something. I was wondering if those things that they have on tv that they say can really take out the little stuff, or if i have to pay someone else to do it right. its nothing really noticable, but when you own a car, you kinda realize every stupid little error in the paint. Thanks

yeah man it won't cost you much either.. especially if its only one.. they just use a metal rod etc.. and get behind the dent and massage it out..

i went to a guy about my ding (opened car door too far and hit edge of concrete block at a gas pump) and he said it was a 'bullet dent' meaning that it was as deep as it is wide and that it cant be popped out. he said it could be pushed out from inside the door to about half the size, but without bondo and new paint on the whole door, thats the best it could go. anyone know anything about this? is there a way to get a dent that sharp out almost completely? thanx in advance

Well, I don't know of this would work on a larger dent, but I've had a 100% success rate at getting out door dents from stupid people opening their doors and denting my car by using that Ding King kit that you can buy at WalMart for $10-20 (the As Seen On TV thing). On my old s-10, I had a large dent from where my dad backed into me with his big truck bumper. It looked like someone tried to kick in my tailgate, but I used the Ding King to get it 75-85% popped out. You could still see a dent, but it wasn't eye-catching or anything. I'd say that for the money, a product like the Ding King is waaaayyy worth buying. I've seen hail dents and shopping cart dents taken out easily with these things. Very .
