Well here is a tip passed to me by my father, that worked out quite well.
My car was damaged by some hail a few weeks ago, nothing too terrible, but a few good dents none the less.
The tip was to get some dry ice and allow the metal to pop itself back into shape.
I was a little hesitant on this solution, but at the cost of dry ice versus taking it in to a shop, decided to try it.
Friday I pcked up a 15 pound back of dry ice, for 15 bucks and some change.
I placed some of the ice, in a plastic bag to easily manouver it where i needed it to be, and to my astonishment after some work with the ice, the majority of the small dents are hardly noticeable and the larger of the dents are alot less than they were.
So theres my tip, try it out for yourself, its not perfect, but its much better than it was :D
