suction cup dent pullers?!?!

has anyone had any luck with these for small dings? a couple nights ago i was with a 2 buds and we saw a friend goin down the road so we snowballed him in his gfs car, she said we caused 3 dents which is bullchit, my throw just skimmed the hood, another throw from 1 friend missed and the other hit, she says there is 3 dents in the rear quarter, i know she is full of it and id tell her to go F herself but her bf is a friend so i said id pay for damages, but i was thinking maybe i can get a suction cup deal and suck them out myself, they are all like quarter sized dents...any ideas? maybe take the plastic paneling apart in the back seat and pop them out from there?

It looked like somebody had leaned, or tripped and hit the side of a previous truck I had. Left a nice looking shallow imprint on the side of my bed. I got one of those rubber dent pullers about 4" across. Push & pull. Worked pretty good. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't like new, you could still see it looking down the side of the truck. But it sure did make it a lot better. For a couple of bucks... It's worth a try!

if they are small like a hail dent or something it wont work very we use those suction cups at school to pull large spots that are oil canning(when you can push it in and out) and after that then we take a hammer and dolly to it. I say your best bet would be to try and access it from the back and work it out if you know nothing about body work then dont try it you could cause more damage

I think they might work ok on the new crap, but old trucks like what we have, probably have too thick of metal, derek if all else fails go see that dent specialist off leathhead, he took a dent out of my sons mustang, and you couldn't tell it was there, and it even had a crease in it

I used on of those Ding Kings like they show on tv and for 20 bucks it worked really good. I'd say that it would pull those dents out good, as long as they are not on a crease or bodyline.
I think CVS pharmacy or walgreens is where i got mine

They have a 4" on sale now at Princess auto $10, I picked up a few different styles in hopes of pulling a dent out of my gas tank. No luck, you have to have a large flat surface to stick them onto. I must say they are pretty strong, I hope to use them on future dents.

Mobile Dent Repair guys

I know a guy that works for one of those dent repair companies, where they smooth them out from behind. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than traditional body work and it usually works great on newer cars.

Good Luck.

I have aways heard that dry ice will pop out small dents...just take some tongs and hold it against the dent...the extreme cold contracts the metal and it pops right out...never tried it.
