DIY Door ding removal.
Just found this video on Autopia, figured I'd share it here. I'm going to try it out on some of the small dents that are on my Honda and see if it actually works.

I think I heard about this a while back. Makes decent sense. The original impact heated up the panel to make it expand (made the dent). So you heat it up to make it malleable and quickly cool it to make it contract into it's original shape.
Let us know how it goes though Jon. I'm curious if it really does work.

I've been looking more into it, and apparently the CO2 method only works on larger dents. For smaller dents and dings, you need to use dry ice. I don't really have any big dents on the Honda and I'm not going to make big dents to try it, but I'll try it out on the smaller dings.

well in that case, i'm not gonna try that method..
and wow.. total misconception... that is NOT liquid CO2...
that stuff's HFC..
and sure.. big dents where the metal isn't stretched will be ok with that method.. but ehh.. still..

The guy obviously doesn't know English very well. If he's showing it, he probably meant it can't cause damage to paint.
This is why I'm testing it out on my Accord, and not my tC.
