Small dent removal

Post by mindshadow »

Apparently the hardness and mass of a walnut combined with about 30 feet of free fall is enough to leave a nice little dent on the roof of a wagon. :x Is there a way to pop the dent back out?

Search local area for PDR ( paintless dent removal) shops and bring $50 . Your insurance company uses them and the claim center supervisor should be able to help you find one. Yellow pages is faster.

If he can't get it all out he should compromise on the price.

I used a ding king on a dent like that once. It worked very well.

You could try a toilet plunger, the kind with a shallow rubber end and no accordion.
