I picked up a softball size dent the other day from 2 of my boys fightin against my sht. So whats the best way to get this out after I kick the sh*t out of those two clowns? (I dont want to drill any holes)

I heard a toilet plunger can put enough suction to pull it out, or maybe a good sized magnet...

This works on hail damage sometimes or so i heard. But using dry ice in some way shape or form. Could try searching car Dent Repair on Google or something.

Ive heard dry ice works...Just buy some, dampen the spot slightly (very slightly) Then place the dry ice against the dent and it should stick to the side of your vehicle. The pull out slowly. Be careful however. Make sure the dent doesnt have a crease at the end of it, make sure it is round. Goodluck.

I have heard of this before also. No experience with it, but I too would take care about the crease..

I thought that was overkill. The movie was fairly funny, though not his best.

We have a company called the dent doctor that calls on our dealership to take out small dents, etc. Usually $40 or so will do it and it looks good. Check your yellow pages or call the used car manager at your local Ford store for a referral.

dry ice works good, so does a plunger, just be careful and watch out and don't make a crease
