Default Pesky dent removal?

I'm sure everybody has had their fair share of little dings and dents while owning their f-body, so what have you all done to remedy this? I have 3 or 4 small dents, the biggest being about the size of a silver dollar, on my car and I was wondering what you all recommend for getting rid of these.

I've heard some people swear by Paintless Dent Removal places like dent wizard while others shun such business. I've also heard dry ice might work, so maybe I'll give that a shot - but what else can anybody reccomend for me? I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow when it's light out.

Well I see you're in waxhaw which isn't too far from me - are there any specific places you know of that you could recommend in the area?

I'm still waiting to try the paintless dent removal for one I got in my door from some jackass that opened a door into it. I hear they're pretty good though.

PDR all the way!! Be sure to take your rear trim out or they will drill a hole in your door jam to get behind the dent.

There are lots of good places around. I would say try and find a independent owner to do it. Most big companies require their employees to sign a contract of 2 years of work before they can leave. If you find a indendent guy then more than likely he has at least 2 years of experience under his belt. My .02

What do you mean rear trim? Why would they drill a hole in my door jam to get the dent out - I don't really have any dents in that area. Haha there must be something I'm missing here; perhaps I'm just retarded.

he means in the trunk, on the sides, the plastic trim pieces, take those out so they can get to the inside of the quarter panels and stuff.

They tap the dent out from the inside. If they cant get to it easily they drill a small hole in the panel to get in there.
