Has anybody ever heard of this, How does it pull out the dent? Fact or Fiction?

I could use that on my car, but no one sells Dry Ice around here.

It seems like rubbing the ice on it like that would scratch the clear.

I dunno, maybe not. I think it would still work though if you just put pressure on it instead of rubbing it around?

Whatda mean no one sell dry ice?? Go to your local food market, wal mart, big grocery stores etc. I cant believe no one sell dry ice around you?

Bullshit. Go get a paintless dent repair guy.

I don't know about this one. This may be BS, but you could try it, just be careful! If you look around you will find places to get some dry ice.

Shit man Ill try it. Im getting new paint soon so I really dont care. I got my sleak beak on right now because my Ram Air hood is fried. The previous owner used it sleeding.. Its got plenty of dents... BUT if its contracting thst much what is it doing to the paint? ive got about 6 or 7 creases and one dent from where the DAPO dinged a gas nozzle into the door.

Ill call around when I get a chance and see if I can pick up some ice

i think ill get it done at a dent repair doesnt sound like a good idea...

**doozjamann** · 08-03-2008, 01:28 PM

It werks. Auto auctions have been doing it for years. You don't actually touch the surface you just get real close to it.

I know it sounds like a crock but it does work.

Just like 2 cycle oil

get a can of compressed air and turn it upside down and spray the dent it works way better

Honestly? Got videos?

**INMY01TA** · 08-03-2008, 02:49 PM

I read it only works on steel panels, not aluminum. http://www.vintageairstream.com/rr_topics_dents.html

**ARM5280** · 08-03-2008, 03:50 PM

I dont personally have videos. I think I saw it on You tube if I remember correctly the guy started by heating the panel first with a hair dryer.

**DrMilhouse** · 08-03-2008, 05:29 PM

That idea has been around for a long long long time. I've never personally done it, but know people who have and it works.

**TempleU_WS6** · 08-03-2008, 07:17 PM

Would this work in my rear driver side quarter?

**zero_proto** · 08-03-2008, 07:38 PM

interesting

Probably. Do it on a hot day when the car is really hot.

**LSx Heaven** · 08-03-2008, 10:10 PM

Dont do it, I have been doing PDR for 5 years now. This will cause many problems, such as warpage and waves. I have done it and it does not work. I REPEAT DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!.

**LSx Heaven** · 08-03-2008, 10:17 PM

This guy is an f-ing idiot. I spent thousands of dollars on my tools. Dry ice causes severe damage. It can work on very smal dents and be effective, but you have to know what you are doing. This is very dangerous for a novice of PDR. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS IDIOTS ADVICE. HE NEEDS TO GO TO SCHOOL AT THE DING KING. HE WOULD FIND THAT THEY URGE YOU TO NEVER USE DRY ICE!
