| I don't see any evidence the video is fake. Doesn't seem so far fetched in concept.

| Im pretty sure this would work, I know a guy who can pull dents out by rubbing dry ice around a Dent and it will pop out. Something to do with the cold air forces the metal to contract so it forces it back to its original shape. im gonna give this a try on the dents on my door and see what happens, I got a couple cans of this stuff laying around the house. | |

Eh, did I miss something? What is the hairdryer for? I vaguely recall trying this trick on a couple dings. I couldn't get it to work. | |

| I think the heat gun guarantees a bigger temperature difference, so the cooling will contract the material more. Increased entropy. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^ | |

| My old auto body teacher use to use this trick for hail damage on HOT days. It works for hail damage, but I've never seen it work for a dent on crease like that. | |

Using ice is an old trick used to remove mild hail damage. Dry ice actually. | |

| Would it work better on a hot day or a cold day?
I've got a heat gun for the heat. | |

| I'm going to try this on my hail dents. I have a hair dryer, but I think I can get a heat gun. And luckily for me, on Tuesdays I have access to dry ice! (long story) | |

| Yeah, I'm very curious about this. Have one dent in the Regal that I'd like to get out. Rather do it myself than pay $50+ for wizard. | |
