I didnt believe it until i tried it.



My fiance's eclipse GT recently got a nice couple of dings despite our best efforts to avoid them. We considered paintless dent removal, but I saw a couple of positive reviews for the ding king online, and i figured what the heck. for 15 bucks or so off ebay it was worth a shot.



Here are my results:



the before picture:

you can see two dings in this picture. the one just behind the door handle is the one i had high hopes for. i tried it on the one over the wheel, and had some success, but just as the ding king claims, it will not remove dents near the edge of panels, so it is still visable.



I followed the directions included perfectly. I let the glue warm up for 5 min, stuck it on the dent (used the smaller pad) and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, i just twisted at an even pace. Suddenly i heard what sounded like a hammer hitting the sheetmetal, and the pad popped off. I didnt think anything had happened, but to my suprise most of the dent was gone.



Have a look:

I constantly hear people make fun of these things, saying theyll never work, but for 20 bucks, i thought it was worth a shot. Im glad we tried it, and i'd recommend it if you have a small ding (not crease) on a relatively flat part of the car not near the end of a panel.

I had a ding on the hood of my tbird, ding king didn't make it perfect, but it was much better.

huh... have you guys ever tried dry ice... most small dents without a crease pop out when you cool the sheetmetal and it shrinks locally...

I have used Ding King many times and with the right technique and patience, you can't beat the price of how close to original it looks in the end!

DRY ICE???? Why haven't I heard of this before? Fact or Fiction? Testimonials? Ingenious?

Shooter_Jay

how about regular ice? is dry ice colder? Or maybe spray it with that compressed air aerosol can, that stuff can get get frosty.

I’ve used it tons of times, it seems like I run across some every couple of years and when I do I take a lump of it and pull out any door dings that have built up on the cars since the last time I got my hands on some. Works great, just press it in direct contact with the actual dented area…

I always worry about hurting the paint but I’ve never seen any signs of that.

Water freezes/melts at 32°F, dry ice sublimates at -109.3°F

Also, dry ice isn't water, it's CO2 in a solid form.

Yeah you just need patience to do it. We used it on my dads door, and it worked pretty good for the price. (It was a very large dent, on the corner of the door where it rounds up to the window)

I think we did it 8 times, and it finally started looking decent.
