Default How do you fix small dents?

So i was at a Scion meet today(in san diego) at a place that happened to have a bmw and audi meet as well. I over heard some ppl talking about how to fix a dent in the fender, but i didnt' really hear much of what they were saying.

I have two almost un-noticable dents above my driver side windows. I was wondering it there were methods in taking out dents without denting my wallet. Heat up the metal? let it just pop back out? any suggestions?

Thanks!


I'll try to post some pics tomrorow on the dents. I have a white tC so it's really hard to see.

go to dent pro or dent time site. they can fix little dimples or minor door dings.

you went to the fuzion cafe meet off of clairemont mesa blvd? that's 1/2 mile away from my dealer and dent pro works 3 days a week for us.

use dry ice
get some dry ice wrap it in a towel and hold it their for about 5 mins. do this on a hot day. you should hear the dent pop right out. and with the dry ice after ur done make a dry ice bomb with some warm water and a 2 ltr. bottle. j/k the dry ice bomb is a bad idea ive seen them pop on stupid people trying to play russian roulette by throwing it back and forth to see when it will pop. what was i talkin about again? i tend to ramble on when im bored.

laters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
