how to fix dents?

Im sad to say I received my first dent on the drivers side rear panel next to the taillight. It about the size of a quarter and has a little paint chip in the middle.

Either some hole backed into me, or an effin shopping cart had the lancer's number.

Has anyone tried that "pops-a-dent" thing you see at like 3 in the morning on infomertials? It looks like a gimic piece of crap but I'm still curious. Basically its a suction cup (but you use an adhesive) and screw vice that basically "pops" the dent out.

I dunno, I always thought that when you got a dent, the metal was permanently deformed and stretched so the only way you could get it out was by hammering it out.

What do you think?

Well, if you go for the "Ding King," it is guaranteed. So you could always get one and try it and just ship it back if it doesn't work.

Now if the paint is not that bad you can take it to one of those piantless dent removal places and they will do a great job.

^ And if you do try it go ahead and give it a review... I get dents every year cause I have an acorn tree that likes to $hit on my car every fall... I swear I should sharpen my axe and cut that thing down.

you could always hide it by putting several look a like dents around it. =) really though I wouldn't try pops a dent.. it's basically a suction cup on a handle... based off of Cork opening technology..
