OK , soo bear with me some what long winded.
I bought one of those dent puller kits off ebay a couple of months ago= the 51 piece kit= I wanted the side hammer!!! = $75
Not much experience yet = about 1/2 , 3/4 hour mucking around .
I justified on 2 counts = lots of shopping trolley dents down the sides of the Maloo =( anything I can do to reduce panel shop prep= going to be repainted hopefully sometime next year = so no loss /cost sort of).
If it worked fairly well I have a couple of small dents on top of both front guards of the Monaro ( don't know how they got there but really **** me because it's soo dam straight = no shopping trolley dents or anything).
So because the Maloo was in the garage when got , there's 1 dent/crease in the bottom of the tailgate dumb ase = me put in.
So tried it on this first.
It is/was quite sharp = created by 1 leg of a star post and it's worst point is where there is a sharp bend.
Only crappy photos of the tailgate.
Did it work?
YES. 100% NO The dent is quite sharp and at the point where it meets the bend the glue adhesion verious pulling power is overruled.
This dent is still quite small and I would say looking at their promo vids= bigger dents I say bullshxt.
For me on one youtube vid sore a guy use special mirror to highlite dents = if works =I need.
Anyway I ventured onto 1 of the Monaro dents = drivers top front guard = obviously shxt me the most.
One go = not perfect , it pulled the center up = so now a little island but is soooo much more not noticeable.
So off my very limited experience I would say !!!
If want 100% = go professional = they will most likely remove door trim and push out== the best way to remove dent.
If happy to accept say 70 /80 % and may even get better improvement go for it.
Could even go 1 of the $21 to $25 kits and just need acetone= based nail polish remover if only want small amount and probably/possibly a soft wood Homemade punch = to tap high points.
The longest tabs are an 1"/25mm , if you jag the prefect match /curve/sideways = the bigger the contact area = the more effective= with also means clean clean clean =and never be clean enough for glue contact.
Put in the middle first/ length ways
Hope this helps!!!
