I have some dents in my Cavy i want to get rid of (i get hit in the parking lot to much, 4 times since i got my car)... I don't really care if it has a "professional" look to it. I just want to make it look better. Are there any actual Dent removal techniques that really work?

I'm in the same boat. I gotta take mine to a body shop I just don't have the stuff to do it myself. They do have them "pop-outs" but if it's a deep dent, it wont work. How bad are they?

Well i have 2 maybe 3 really shallow dents you can barley see... And one thats really ugly..... Ill post a pic of the ugly one in a min

take a rubber mallet to the back side of it if you have access, if not, get a pry bar out and try to use the door frame as support to push the dent out. When pushing it, it should actually pop out some.

Take a basketball, deflate it and toss it behind the dent, inflate basketball and pop dent out????

I have a few small ones I'd also like to know what to do nothing like the ugly one but I'm gonna be trading my car in lol

I knew a guy that had a suction cup like the ones they use at glass shops to carry glass panels around. He drove a Colt that was getting panels pushed in all the time. He would just stick that sucker on and pop them back out like nothing every happened.

sometimes you can take the cans of compressed air, turn it upside down and freeze the spot and then hit it with a heat gun and they pop out

I'v never seen that work except on youtube

and in some cases if it's just pushed in in the middle of a panel, you can heat up the panel then put some vaseline on a plunger and use to suck the dent out.
