The internet has many clips of guys fixing dents with these two simple household items. They hold a hairdryer over the dent for about 2 minutes until it's really hot, then flip a can of keyboard duster upside down and spray it over the dent. Since the metal is quickly heated and cooled, it expands and pops out the dent. It's usually followed by a bunch of cheering.
I decided to give it a whirl considering I have nothing to lose. The sube is riddled with dents, has about 100k on it, and I love it so I plan on driving it til it dies. I had to grab something at Target so picked up a can of this stuff as I walked by. You need to give your birthday to buy a can; apparently kids have taken a liking to the it too.
We tried it on two major dents. Mattafack, these were the first two that my car took after getting it. I had my jeep down at school for 2 years and it never got a scratch. I had the sube at school for two months and some girl side swiped it in the parking lot and it got nailed by a football. The football one I mostly pulled out with a plunger right afterward. The rest of the tiny dents admittedly came from parking under the huge walnut tree at J-town senior year...the one I always make fun of the Pat monster for.
Want to see the pic of the dent after? Just look back up at the first picture. Let me know if you try it and it works for you, but I'd save all of those fresh cans of keyboard duster for 15 year-olds who can't find any beer.
