Default Get Rid of Dent Day?

Anyone have a dent in their Z that they want to get rid of? I do! I was wondering if the dent repair person would give us a discount if we did a group thing. XD. Anyone interested in this kind of thing? It might be cheaper than just doing it yourself. And we can all chip in I guess? There is this rear fender dent on the drivers side that I really want to get rid of but its expensive and I do not want to touch anything that has to do w/ the body of my car. Anyone interested??? Im in the 562 area.

Buy a "Ding King" for $20. Those things work VERY well.

You have to work it several times for most dents. Usually 5-10 Pulls.

The Trick is to Get the Glue VERY hot. When you place the dent puller on the spot, let it cool for 5 Minutes, then Pull it.

Use the Tools to smooth the spot over after every pull and then clay bar it each time.

Works like a Champ. 2 Kits and I repaired a hail damaged car once.

Cool man.

Be sure to use LOTS of glue and Quickly place it on the car and press it down hard to get a good seal.

It is basically using suction to pull out the dent and the area arround it. You are using the shape tools (Usually the flat edge one) to smooth the area.

You also can use the shape tool and some Meguires Quick Detailer to get the exess glue off.

Yeah.. I just noticed you asked that, sorry bro, I must have missed it.

Look on the bright side.. You get Five extra sticks.. That is almost 2 kits worth, so you got an OK deal.
