I swear with that big of a dent you could have gone inside and pushed it out with your hand. But I would like to see if this works.

Re: Dent Removal with Airduster and Hair Dryer.

The key with the method is that it needs to be a fresh dent to work. It works with a hair dryer and dry ice. Ever seen a car with hail damage and it gets better when it sits in the hot sun? Metal has a memory, so it wants to go back where it was. As it stays like that the memory goes away, so it won't work on an older dent.

Re: Dent Removal with Airduster and Hair Dryer.

PDR work is not that expensive if you know someone that does it. I have a full PDR kit that I bought a couple of years ago, haven't had time to learn it so it sits under my workbench. It's an art.

PDR is a pain in the ass to learn. I've tried it on a couple jobs at work, and failed miserably. It's definatly not something you can figure out in a couple hours.
