Default Dings be gone LOL

I came across this while looking at videos on dent removal with dry ice (no i'm not planning on doing that lol). Funny though as the guy and the company are legit.

Actually, if you look closer at 1:31+ you can tell he has a rod going into the fender while the pop corn is still popping. Either way I don't think this a good promo video for the company lol.

What he has is a very soft dent to begin with....no sharp creases along the edge. Then, the popcorn has to be tightly contained and controlled to get it to put pressure on the dent. Then, getting heat to it....the engine will not give enough to that area so they have another source for that. The popcorn will expand and force that soft dent out. I have seem this personally and it is a joke for an add for his company....real stupid. Probably not more than one in 500 dents in might work on. That dent could most likely be popped out with a slight hand pressure from behind.

Thats just stupid! Next you'll have to call his exterminator company to get rid of the mice living off of the popcorn inside of your engine compartment ;-)
