Default Remove A Dent With Dry Ice?

Hey, can anyone here give me a step by step on removing dents with dry ice?

And can it set off side airbags?

Thanks!

I had someone that was nice enough to smash their door into my quarter panel on my last car and do $900 damage to fix it since it was a quarter. I found a guy that did paintless dent repair and it took him 15 minutes and cost $80 and it looked like it never happened. I would try to find someone in your area
