Default at what outside temperature should i try to pop the dents?

My car had a few hail dings when I bought it a year ago but it didn't bother me then but it is now... I talked to my buddy at autozone and he says the bondo suction dent puller is pretty good, I have about 3 quarter size dents on hood and one on the side of the car...

I used it on the hood and the surface is flat now, but you can still see where the paint looks like a dent...was told that when the weather is hot it should pop up.

so im thinking once the weather gets warm + sunny I'm gonna put the suction puller to all the dents on the body again, and let it sit in the warm sun for a bit and hope it helps....what temperature should i do it on?

would it be fine with a sunny 70 degree day? or try to get a sunny 80 degrree or possibly 75?

thanks


im scheduled to get a buff+wax+wash+everything on march 24th, should i wait to was after i try to pop the dents or would it not make a difference?

Find yourself a good paint less dent remover. I had a huge acorn fall from a good height onto my roof and put a nice ding in the car. With PDR, and $50 later, you would never know it was there. It took him 5 min, I removed the headliner to save time and $!

thanks for the recommendation, I didn't really know hat PDR is, but I asked a local reputable body shop and they can hook me up

another body shop wanted to charge an arm and a leg

why did you have to remove the headliner for a dent on your roof?? was it so deep that they had to push from the other side or what?

PDR for the most part pushes/massages dents from the inside of the panel.
