Polarity Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Fair warning, I don't know for sure if it's the heat or the compressed air but it definately messes up the paint. Also got my Ding King in last night didn't get a chance to try it, I will find out tonight how it works. -polarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for leading you in that direction if it doesn't work. I'll still try it on my company car though Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarity Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 I thought it was a great attempt and it even did work some. Also davy if you need to borrow the Ding King let me know and I can ship it to you =) -polarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it, but at about $30, I'll probably just buy one---you need to tell me if that sucker works, though! Thanks a bunch though Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarity Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 It definately works at pulling dents, just not all types I guess. It pulled a couple larger dents out no problem, but back to my same issue with the smaller hail dents. It pulls them out abit, but still damage there. I ordered the book you suggested, should be here in a few days. Also if you use this the glue is fun to get off the car. It's basically some cleaner (smells like alcohol) to prep the area. A glue gun and the little tool you see in the commercial. Then some solution to help get the glue back off. All in all a cool toy, don't think it's going to work for my problem though. Ah well, back to the drawing board. -polarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hmmm, sounds like you will need to do body work using filler. Bummer. That book will help a lot with the DIY stuff and I think you'll find it very good reading too. So far, it's the best DIY paint & body book out there. I hope you find it helpful too. The dent puller tool (Ding King) does serve its purpose, so I'm not writing it off completely--it's still worth the price for what it does. Metal that has a sharp kink in it...well...that's not going to just "pop" out... Sometime I may get enough gumption to order some dent popping tools like the professional paintless dent guys use. Until then, things I can't bump out get body filler. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
