Default HOW TO TAKE A DING OUT

I have a ding about an inch wide and an inch tall. any idea how to pull this up cheaply? Suction cup maybe? I had a good foot by foot dent when i first got the car and i took a plunger and it pulled it right up. and looks spotless now. Any luck with those 3 prong pullers they sell in the autoshops and advertise?

I've heard sometimes clamping dry ice to it can pull a dent out depending on the dent. Cold contracts the metal and... pops back into place. Never tried it though but I don't see how it could hurt.

i tryed it with the dust remover crap and a hair dryer and it was the longest 5 mins waiting on it to pop. and it did nothing.

dony waste your money on the ding king etc lots of times u can end up with 2 new dings something small like that is harder to just pop out compared to your large dent.if you can get to it from the rear you can try to tap it out lightly with a hammer

Did you make sure the dust remover can was upside down so it was shooting the liquid out? I saw a video and it worked there, don't know how though. If you got nothing to lose though I'd suggest you try it. Heat the area on high with a hair dryer for like 30 seconds and then shoot some Dust Off upside down on the area. Never tried it though!
