Default Hail damage

So is there any cheap way I can get hail damage out of my car. Just had golf ball hail 2x last night and I have 5-6 dents, and don't want to use my insurance for such light damage.

Wait for a really hot day then try dry ice?

You can always try a dent puller, hammer & dolly, I dunno ask some body guys.

well i can only assume with dry ice you get the hood really hot from the sun and put the cold dry-ice on the dent and wait for the metal to contract... hopefully pulling the dent out, correct?

dont try it if you dont know what you are doing!!!!!!!! you will cause more damage and might be replacing panels if you try this. my buddy works for dent pro they do mostly hail damage and parking lot dingsand can take the dents out with out repainting. they normaly charge 50 dollars per dent, but theycan make it to where youlll never be able to tell anything was there. just look for paintless dent removal in the yellow pages.

that's reasonable for 5 dents and is less than my $500 deductable.
